Paedophrasty

Word of 2019: Paedophrasty or Pedophrasty.

Paedophrasty is the act of using vulnerable children as human shields to bolster or defend a rationalisation, making any opponent appear cruel and uncaring - as people are defenseless and suspend all skepticism in front of suffering children - guilt-tripping and thereby preventing them from questioning the authenticity or source of the reporting or argument.

Paedophrasty can also describe the exploitation of babies or very young children, often with a visible physical impairment or disability, by professional beggars as a potent appendage and prop in the plying of their trade, thereby appealing to maternal or paternal instincts or general outrage or sympathy of people, rendering any opposition to the practice of begging as cold, callous or uncaring.

Paedophrasty mostly influences and affects intellectually insecure people, devoid of critical judgement and those that have an irrationally desperate fear of being viewed as violators of some norm of political correctness. These usually tend to be people that constantly feed on validation and public adulation, owing their whole existence, relevence and fortunes to being in the public eye - actors, performers, journalists, politicians... you get my drift.

That said, I feel so sorry for Greta Thunberg. I fear this will not end well for her.
