 Hallo, die Listeners. Willkommen zu dem Talk out of the Dictionary of the, out of the Swerver Dictionary of the New Right by Josh Lingerist, who is using several methods to find, yeah, out about hate speech. Your interpreters are Kiety and Miss Sensei. We'd be very grateful for feedback. Yeah, we will see what right political currents are doing to make people think their way. Welcome to the, to Josh. Thank you. Good evening. My name is Josh. I am a paid ruminant of propaganda rubbish in the area of Blabla Science at a highly criminal, completely down-minded sponsor in a city in Orientalistan. I'm hacking, yes, sir, long active in the bloody hacker's nest in the city of the movement. I am researching language and the politics of ... A lot of these words, terms I've just used in my introduction, I've got via e-mail and some I've also interpreted myself. So, a little bit of a manual for this lecture. Since 2015 I've looked at the internet and usually we react to speech and hate speech with shock and with disgust. But I changed my attitude to investigation and since then I've been doing much better. So, I want to do this in an analytical way and in a subversive way. And I think that the disgust and outrage of the mainstream society is part of the strategy and calculation about resonance. It's the right thing people are using and I don't want to give them this room of resonance. And the question which comes up for this talk, do I not reproduce the stereotypes when I'm using these insults and this hate speech and the short answer is yes. But hopefully if I take these terms out of their context and within condensing them I will be able to point out the absurdity of this worldview where these terms are coming from. The second question which comes up is do we actually need to show all of these words, all of these terms. I decided to do this because if I had left them out, this presentation would be very hard to follow and not have the same level of persuasion. I have reduced enormously the terms used for minorities but leaving them out completely that would reduce, like they wouldn't be able to point out how harmful this ideology is being. A third question that is important I think is are we able to laugh about it? First of all I don't think it's possible to completely avoid this because the terms, the right people, right when people come up are very comical. And on the other side I think laughing can be a way to subvert this strategy of the new right. They are trying to follow with these terms and at the same time this ideology is against our legal system and has high consequences. So what methods did I use to investigate this language? So the first question is who is the new right? And with formulating this speech and also when I titled this speech I said Neue Rechte, new right and I didn't capitalise it because I'm not using the academic term, where it's capitalised and referenced that, where it's a movement which formed in the 1960s or started in the 1960s which is intellectual right wing extremism or maybe the area between New Controvertism and right extremism. And I also think other terms might not fit perfectly because that doesn't apply to the online world precisely. So we are looking at topois, statements that reference each other and show up again and get again. And these topois we are looking at is anti-feminism, racism, discrimination of all types of minorities. None of this is new for the new right. And what is new about this is how popular it is and how much Rechte it has, which has been increased since 2015. And at the same time it's not only my personal point of view, but I wanted to look at the interview from those who are looking at themselves. So I have this head parade from Appleblocks and this statistic is according to numbers which was done by a web tracker. And from these blogs and news pages the yellow highlights, the yellow highlighted ones is the ones I scraped and looked at their comments. And yeah, it just goes down. There are coming a couple more. And there is a couple more which aren't showing up here. And anonymous news for example or compact, their websites. And they are also used here and I used 29 different sites and their publications and their comments. How did I analyze this? I used automatic recognition because automatic recognition isn't that super useful here because all terms can be used as hate speech or as insult depending on their context. So I needed to look at the specific context for these words if it's actually about hate or if it's also used in other ways. And they looked also mainstream newspapers and also more diverse websites and looked at which terms are significant statistically in which types of media. And still not all of them, all of these hundreds of thousands of words aren't specific to the sites and not all of them are insults. So I also did a parsing where I looked at the terms which came up a lot. So and I checked out whether they are actually relevant for hate speech. Yes we have here for example rhombus, we have the word good which is good, which is occurring a lot of times. We have many laxums which contain the word climate, like climate change, climate movement etc. But often we also have endings like Ian, we have islamania, adogania, africania. And we also have very sexualized words like perversistan, fagofistan. So we could find different strategies of how those words are made. The first one I want to introduce is the use of quotation marks to show a distance from what the word actually means. For example here we have about Claudia Roth, the word conceded Trudy. And the word educated, which is in hyphens, in quotation marks, sorry. We have the same sometimes in the word CDU, which is the name of a German party. So for example with the C where they doubt the Christianity and the D where they doubt the democracy. And sometimes even they doubt that it is a union and also put quotation marks on the U. Another graphomatic medium of making words is putting different parts of a word in capital letters. Here you find part of the word government in capital letters. Here they find in the words of receiver of elementary typical Arabic first name, which is Ali. Here we see the name of a German politician, what in the name are brain prostheses. And here we have also the CDU highlighted in something called Eugel, Germany Hater. Another graphomatic medium of making words are stars or points, which are there instead of certain letters. So often there are as many stars as letters that are not written. Here you can see another art of doing it, so those stars don't actually mark another letter, but they are probably there to make this word not sorted out by a certain search in the Internet for slow words. Here we see a very obsessive form of gendering. So they are like gender stars and underscores and the German female ending in. Here we also see this kind of star, but here it should be like the star and half moon, like in the Turkish flag in the acronym of the party CSU. The next medium to make words I want to show is that part of the word is used with other words in brackets. Here we have Claudia Roth, the German Titian again, and she is called Claudia Snoth here. Again we have the CDU, the chaotic, debile undemocrates. As I said before, the new right likes to use certain endings and those endings have the function to devalorize certain things. So we have here, for example, the ending Land. We have this on many words, like also on a word for asylum seeker in German. Other endings are Ling, Larry, Stan etc. We will see others of that. Here we see that actual words who are positive in their basic meaning are used in a bad contents. For example, here we have many things with the word gut. We have gutti, gutest, godown, etc. And this is used for the whole word field. So we also have the good German, good willing, good city, feel good and gender giddy. And in the end this word with good, a negative word as well. Also we have this gendered language. Actually at no place there is gendered more than a new right commentary comments. So for example this thing with the gender acts is used in the new right comments more often than in actual other contexts. We have a lot of exaggeration, so a lot of use of the hyper bowl. And you can find this in the words as well. So I want to show some parts of the good man. There can be the super good man, the super duper good man, the ultra good man, the super giga very good man, the super hyper extra positive good man, the super ultra mega top good man, and the good better man, the better man, the better woman, the better woman, the better vox man. It's quite difficult, I'm sorry. But you can do it much in the German language. Also super better man, the Aryan better man, the world better man. And where the better man is there, you can use the best man, the best man and so on. I won't read it anymore. We have here the super good best man, the super good best green man and so on. Yeah, you can do that all the time. Super super good over high working best man trademark. Of course none of these words are meant in a positive way, they are all meant negative. And often those words are changed by mixing two words and they want to make one word more negative. Here we have migrant and rat and we have something like migrat in the end. Hier, we have a journalist and a rascal and we make a rascal out of it. And out of the journalist and the demagog, we can make the demagog. And also a way to dissociate the words is to use words or like letters from other languages like the Turkish you to reference that a word might no longer be an actual German word. Like here in Berlin-Kolzberg, which is a part of Berlin in Berlin-Kutsburg pretending to be Turkish. So they also add letters or change the word just a couple of letters and that attributes an attribute to a person. For example, here we had Marionetta, which is a name, but it's about how this person is being directed with this change of word. Here we have Barack Obama, which wants to point out that he might not be an US-American. And another very popular thing to do is composition words, which is a very popular thing to do in the German language. So we are just combining two words. So there is this word asylum import Merkel. So it's pointing out that Merkel is just known for this one attribute, which is taking in immigrants. So here we have this word Volksturtrautenhexel, which is created from national deskromper switch. And here we have a very, very long term, which is multi-quarty hail to the refugees. Self-hate is our redemption of bad Nazi Germany. Or another example is I'm traveling over half the world through many safe countries to get to the state with the best social system refugee asylum swindler. So, and we are looking at these strategy to create new words. It's also very interesting to look at their world view. And if you're just looking at the geography, you could maybe think the geography looks like this. Aber in truth, it's a little more diverse. It actually looks like this, so is there Trumpland and Putinland, and in between there is Arabia, where Germany is a part of. Below Trumpland is very far away-stan, and Oceania is called Norway, Australia, and then there is Shatollistan, which is actually a term triggered by Trump, influenced by Trump. So, looking at Arabia, we have the EU, the SSR, the Multifikifiki, Europa, Kalifat, and Africa, Arabistan, and the demanding Orient. So, then there is, it's differentiated between the individual countries which then have their own deregate terminology. So, looking closer into Germany, which is very dear to the new right. So, who would hope for positive terms here, but also the German states are actually having a lot of insults associated with them. So, we have Hamburg, the free-knife-fight city of Hamburg, the invasor city, Shatoll-Hamburg, etc., and also if we look to North Rhine-Westphalia, we see here, North Rhine will fall, North Rhine-Arabia, which isn't really better, also called Mord-Rhein-We-Pay, or North Catastrophalia, etc., Berlin also has a lot of bad words. We have the good man's salier, Berlin's slum, etc. But if we go away from the geography and look at the state, and now we ask ourselves what the picture of the new right is of our governmental Germany. We have the people from which, which is also used many bad words. We have animal metaphoria like cattle and sheep, but also we have metaphoria for being stupid, being thump, also things with sleepy, because sleep obviously also is something they tell. Now if we here see the three pillars of the democratic state, we also find many words that show that the government is compared with the GDR government. We have something like FRGDR-Hunter, NIO-SED, and often they criminalize the government like Krupp government or governmental terror. They often say that the government would be directed from elsewhere. They talk of a marionette government. And in the end there is just slur words also like government prostitutes. Also the people working for the government are, there are many slur words for them. Also they use many words with, with traitor of the people. They call the parliament people's traitor place, but also like the place of the parliament of the SED number two. And they also have bad words for the elections, like election simulation, election cult. The same is, if we look to the Decatur, there are a lot of slur words for judges. And also for the courts there is the national court of trade, trading. And also for the police and the way in which law is made. There are a lot of bad words. Often saying that the law wouldn't be, would be too soft. So also in the mathematics we see a lot of new ideas. So there is formulas, which we can see, referencing Nazi Germany and totalitarianism and pseudo-mathematics, where you amplify stereotypes and make them more like pointed out. So if you say colorful and tolerant and diversity, they say it's a dangerous place. There's more examples. So here's Merkel plus repopulatization equals racism plus genocide. And there is already a new right-wing terminology within this equation. And if you change this fake equation around, it doesn't make any sense anymore. So another thing is house and, yeah, that's also a very relevant field, where we are looking at that being used to deregatate minorities. So either the people are praying to the migration or to a religion, or they are just ill. Here we have different kind of illnesses that the people are befallen with, psychic and behavioral disorders, infectious and parasitic diseases. Diseases of the digestive system and skin disease and then also some, yeah, actual symptoms that we haven't discovered yet, but they are very creative here. I don't want to go through all of that, but we find a lot of new manias and neurosis, like the saving the world mania, the guilt neurosis. But also in the part of the abscesses, we are talking of Islam, we are talking about invasive cases, invasive multi-culti-counter abscesses, et cetera. Those last examples show that the Slur words take the words from usual words and from words like that are contrary to each other, like ill and sane, et cetera. On the one side we have the reference to good and on the other side we have the reference to mental illnesses and delusion. So it's also about being irrational and Frankfurt references being health. Again, linksversiv is a term for experiencing cleanliness and there is a bunch of examples which show up again and again. So if you are looking at a lot of these terms, then there is these fields of duologies we can build up here. So it's religious versus rational. It's female versus masculine. I always name the positive things for the new right first and then the bad things last. You might find a pattern here. There is criminal versus legally obliged. There is the elite versus the simple people and so on. So, let's get to some final thoughts. So we have looked at this universe of 2000 der regular terms used by the new right. The new rights pretend to be patriot, but it's obvious that they do not really like the country they are living in. They don't only dislike the country, but also the people who are living in it and also the democratic institutions. So this is the 30 minutes, just the tip of the iceberg and there is so much more and I've identified a lot of those more and it just never stops. Social movements have always left their traces in language history. So in the sixth, like serious slogans from different types of social movements. If you look at women's rights, we see influence with gender terminology and I think the new right will be known for their hate speech. So what can we learn from how the new right uses these terms? There is a use case to the inside because der regulatory everyone and everything is the smallest common denominator for this group. They are trying to find more and more radical terms to be more and more insulting because it's one of the things which actually brings them together as a community. So we also need to look at these terms in the context of the attention span and it's also about getting the attention from the public and resonance from the public. So if we have this analytic view I try to give here, I hope we can counter this strategy by finding a resonance in the public. Thank you for your attention. You've been or you're still listening to the translation of the dictionary of insulting right-wing speech and if you have feedback, you can contact us on Twitter using the hashtag C3T or send us an email at helloits. C3lingo.org and we will be continuing on with questions. Wie bezeichnet die Rechte denn uns Hecker hier? How does the new right call Hecker? Heckers. Well, I actually have to look this up. There isn't a lot of terms for Heckers because there is some level of respect. Well, a tiny level of respect at least. But I will just look it up. Give me a short second. So yeah. I'm finding, well, it's a bit funny, well, actually not that funny. It's cutting off the head, which also includes about Hecker in German. But I don't think you are actually meant by that. Mikrofon 2 bitte. I'm interested if there are analogies to the left spectrum and which those words are. And the second thing is what does the new right like? Is there anything they do like? That's a good question. I can't answer the first question because I think, well, there is the regulatory terms for people in power and that's always been a strategy of people without power. So I think this is visible in all political spectrums. But I don't think it's there in that much detail with the left spectrum as well as the right spectrum because there is this style of communication which is developing there which is not comparable to what is done on the left spectrum. Die zweite Frage habe ich, die war zwar gut. So, second question again. So the areas I was looking at, I was looking at insults, I didn't find out anything they are liking except for the AfD, the alternative for Germany. You said that they insult everyone and everything, do they also insult themselves? It would be a fiction to think it's a homogenous field which just support each other. And there are some people who are radical, some who are less radical and they are also fighting amongst each other. So, yeah, obviously, there are also der regulatory terms for each other. Die Frage ist, wie du deine Gebäude hast. How did you find your sources which blocks did you choose and the second question is how big was the corpus with which you worked to add this corpus to mainstream media? Ja, I think you came a little late because as I've said before I've looked at Apple blocks and which one was the most popular. So I've also added some newer ones and there is I think 22 million words inside and I've cross-referenced the Spiegel online, Zeit online and also big discussion boards. I don't know if the question is already answered but did you find out how they describe things as positive because it seems like every word that is used to say a positive thing is used to devalue something is there anything that is connotated positively? Ja, I think that's a practice which makes the people feel good. It's their only way to feel good to insult others. So if you look at comments and if you look at the text they don't feel good in this Germany. They don't feel well. They want to get rid of it. So what else is there except for publishing these comments and they do appear to enjoy it and there is a lot of creativity and one would hope that they would invest this creativity into other things and for us it's an interesting field of study. Do you only find this kind of speech inside of the net or is it also outside? Ja, I was in Dresden at this time when this really started. So you also hear it on the streets and you hear it in restaurants in bars just everywhere. But that isn't as easily like you can use machine learning to study it. Is there an effect if you try to hold against it or is it bad to just refrain from joining a discussion? I don't have done studies on that but I think I'm convinced that this is a strategy of provocation and it is looking for resonance and I think we have to avoid this area of resonance. So I think scandalizing is not helping out so I think the way to go is ignorance and blocking it out. One other question from the internet they are rather pessimistic how do you keep your hopes up? I have to say I was more helpless before I did this analysis and throughout doing it if you not just keep looking at individual things and if you are putting this into patterns and look at the worldview and that is kind of relieving because I think it's not in itself as dangerous it's not inherently dangerous but it's also concerning that the acceptance of violence is becoming more popular and it's being apologized as being just a natural reaction to things and that isn't as visible in just looking at specific words in terminology but this is also very much concerning to me. Also all those answers and insights I want to end this talk you can give us feedback under the hashtag c3t thank you
