Ep116. Linguistic Nationalism: When Language Becomes a Political Weapon
Language is more than words; it’s power. In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the hidden—and not-so-hidden—ways language has been weaponized throughout history and across borders. From identity politics to cultural suppression, we unpack case studies of linguistic nationalism and its ties to national identity, conflict, and resistance. Why do some languages thrive while others fade? How do politicians and movements use language to divide or unite us? Join us as we peel back the layers and reveal the truth about how words can shape nations—and sometimes break them.
