And more of Alexander’s examples:
Ideology is how useful idiots know what to think about things they don’t understand. Perhaps “From the river to the sea” sounds poetic to the “Free Palestine” activist, but ask them which river and which sea and you’ll likely get a blank stare. It’s the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea, of course, but the point is that chanting the slogan effectively calls for the elimination of Israel and its people. It’s a bit genocidal when you think about it, which they don’t.
“Trans women are women” works in the same way. It’s not a claim about biological reality but an unfalsifiable redefinition of the word woman. It also functions as a sort of loyalty oath. Ask for a definition of woman, and it quickly falls apart. That’s because slogans are engineered to short-circuit thought and leave reason at the door.
