Soon, cancel culture took hold as began seeking out individuals using a long standing &#8220;OK&#8221; symbol, to mean &#8220;OK&#8221; &#8211; and accusing them of white supremacy.<\/p>\n<p>Redefining the language is common and surrounds us every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Tear gas&#8221; and &#8220;Pepper spray&#8221; have been redefined by riot enthusiasts as &#8220;chemical munitions&#8221; and &#8220;chemical weapons&#8221; as they seek to ban the use of crowd control measures by police, when employed at &#8220;mostly peaceful protests&#8221;.
