Normalizing extreme words is the first step of the far right (legrandcontinent.eu)

• Steven Forti leads a collective far-right vocabulary glossary published by Le Grand Continent starting July 23, 2026.
• The glossary analyzes linguistic normalization as a gateway for political acceptance of far-right parties.
• Tactics like memetic warfare, astroturfing, and trolling are described as invisible tools of manipulation.

"Historian Steven Forti leads a collective glossary project, 'Vocabulaire de l'extrême droite', published by Le Grand Continent starting July 23, 2026. He argues that social acceptance of far-right parties hinges on normalizing their language—a strategy rooted in the French Nouvelle Droite's metapolitical approach. Terms like 'natural order' and 'free speech' are repurposed as Trojan horses. The glossary examines tactics such as memetic warfare, astroturfing, and trolling. Forti insists that naming these manipulations weakens their power, but acknowledges that a glossary alone cannot counter the post-truth affective economy."
