Unidentified Collectivist Terms in the Political Baggage Dept

There are everyday words and phrases that go under the radar below conscious awareness that we should really identify and pay attention to   in order to understand the motivation of those politicians and influencers who use them on a daily basis thus enabling us to  be protected and immune from their intended effects.

Some examples are: the public, public mood, public anger,public opinion, public consciousness,the people, the will of the people, society,the local community,the many not the few - and it should be noted that all of these have something in common in that they are collectivist terms and they are invariably articulated by statist politicians when justifying yet another power grab by the state in the form of regulation,tax increases and  state creep in general.Some statist politicians occasionally break cover and refer explicitly to the 'collective consciousness' which only they can somehow mystically divine and articulate.

As Thatcher said there is no such thing as society (although Rand said it before her in a 60's essay) and the claim has been  vehemently repudiated by statists ever since but has never been invalidated simply by virtue of the fact that it is a statement of the obvious.

It is clear why politicians would want to deploy such collectivist terms when proposing yet another piece of invasive state legislation but it would be enough for people to simply identify them when they are invoked and  reject them.
