      Having a word for something makes it easier to remember & discuss. The word "Brexit" is in a million headlines because it conveniently signifies. But we don't have an agreed upon term for Merkel's Migrant Mistake, so pundits tend to overlook its vast influence on Brexit & Trump. https://twitter.com/lhtach/status/997233918049910784 …

      This is the mild form of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Whorf was a fire insurance inspector in his day job. The fire prevention industry invented the word "flammable" because people were getting killed smoking around stuff labeled "inflammable." The new word flammable saved lives.

      Orwell's appendix to "1984" on the goals of Newspeak explains how the mild form of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (having a word makes it easier to have an idea) applies to politics. Goal of Newspeak was to render Declaration of Independence conceivable only as "crimethink."

      There is no agreed upon English term conveniently denoting Chancellor Merkel's decision in late summer 2015 to admit a million purported refugees. So, it's harder to remember that event & its influence on the easy-to-remember events of Brexit & Trump, which have their own terms.

          Unironically think that “merkel” will become either a noun meaning “fool” or a verb meaning “to make a horrific and self-destructive political mistake” in the next few decades

          'Merkel' has that harsh edge that will sound at home in the Deutsch-Turk-Arabic creole.

          "Merkel" can be used as a verb in this case, as in she "merkeled" Germany. Same way as Maine and Minnesota, for instance, have been merkeled with Somalis.

          It needs to be a neutral term, as with "Brexit," that people on both sides of debate can use. Media isn't going to pick up a negative term for "Merkel's Migrants" because they don't think it is bad.

          It gets more complicated if one considers, as I do, that she didn’t make an active decision, but just reacted to the Caravan™️ & simply let things happen. Did she actively lift the Schengen Agreement? If she did, I like how Hungary never to seem to hear about it ;)
