Words world war.

I have been looking more into linguistics and the effects on the psyche.

For example I don't know who came up with the slogan such as BLM but they were either were unintentionally unaware of consequences or strait up evil mastermind.
Black lives matter how can you disagree, ofc they matter I think any reasonable good fellow human being will agree whole heartedly. However there is an inplicit suggestion that other lives don't matter. Hence the counteractive slogans such as all lives matter or blue lives matter etc.
The original message please let's end any racial prejudice and inequalities that we may have. But instead it comes out as we are more special then you and we want free shit.

It's the same with the Jews who went under the banner "We are God's Chosen People". Since all sentient beings believe that God is on their side or at the least think they are special and not less valid then anyone else. Ever since that slogan they have essentially painted a target on their back from everyone else "oh yea you think you are special? Well fuck you I'll show you that you are not."

Language can create antagonistic dualities. There is the obvious and then there is underlying implicit suggestion which communicates with the subconscious.

Why is it that conservatives will actively contradict "black lives matter" by saying "all lives matter", but will never do so when somebody says "blue lives matter"?

Because that's a conservative thing to say why would they contradict themselves have you even read the full premise? or you just looking at parts to get offended again?

More of an empathy problem than a language problem.
