Tell yourself who denies alleged evidence. Already at the end of the last century this pejorative began to be used in discussions of "climate change". The free offense in which this term has been transformed joins the attempt to end the discussion before it even begins, cornering the disagreer. The truth is that this term is a supine imbecility, since usually in every discussion both parties deny something (and claim something), only they exchange the propositions. And so "denier" means nothing in the context of a discussion, since both sides are. Inevitably. That they want to refer with the term to those who deny the evidence, would result in a real extravagance on the part of the collaborators and alarmists, since we have been a thousand years of Spanish language without the need for such a swearing. Adjectives are plenty in our language to point out to those who deny the obvious; stubborn, foolish, obtuse, imbecile, etc. It is very likely that the excessive abuse of the palabrita by the mass media, relates to the attempt to box a tint of lid, without having to substandder it : an imaginary political intentionality (so "ista" ). When a new concept or idea or a young science makes extraordinary propositions (neither ordinary nor), and to defend itself needs to invent extraordinary terms, there is no doubt that something extraordinary is going on. By the way, in the good Spanish of Cervantes there is a term to refer to the one he denies; Denier. But because the phoneme of that word is much less soundy and overwhelming than "denier", the latter is preferred because it is more bombastic and accusatory. The same would happen with any of the many natural terms to refer to those who discuss a thesis: skeptics, critics, opponents, rebels, dissidents, etc. Finally, in view of the current use of the term so mediatic, it could be said that it is used to "put on the patch before the wound", "to cover the sun with one finger", in short, to make a thick mist about the real evidence that is uncovering a fraud. Denier is already part of the neolanguage, such as "conspiranoic", "antivaccinas", "anti-masks", "anti-quarentena" and a long and hateful glossary. ?? * based on a publication of playamoyua. Com
