"We" Means "You"

Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
--Natasha Bedingfield

These pages have noted it before. In the context of politics, "we" is a euphemism for "you." And the probable application of offensive force to get "you" to acquiesce to some "greater good."

"We" is a euphemism for Sumner's Forgotten Man.
