Semantic Warfare 🌪️: Narcissism, Gaslighting, and Reclaiming your Linguistic Sovereignty

The source examines how **narcissistic dynamics fundamentally corrupt language** by turning words from tools of shared meaning into instruments of control and manipulation, calling this a **semantic power struggle**. It details how narcissists appropriate moral vocabulary through **projection and gaslighting** to redefine reality and erode the victim's sense of truth. The text proposes that escaping this dynamic requires reclaiming **semantic sovereignty**, which involves three practical steps: **naming the manipulation, refusing to argue definitions, and adhering to behavioral language**. Ultimately, the source argues that this linguistic detox is a **philosophical and moral reclamation**, countering the narcissist's linguistic nihilism by restoring integrity between thought, word, and verifiable reality.
