One of the assumptions you generally make when you wax politics with regular people is they're going to say something that rubs you the wrong way.

The lib tendency to escalate language transgressions into crimes against humanity was never justice, it's situational fascism

Agreed. I think a great deal of this occurs because liberals are acculturated in a habitat where words are the animus of the world — at least from their perspective. They are wrong, of course, but the typical education certainly gives you this impression.

Words and language are not unimportant, of course, but in the hierarchy of actual power as realized and exercised in the world they are quite far down the ladder. Glad I joined the army and had some of the other experiences I did because that jarred me out of my belief in the infinite power of words.

But I think the woke types will keep worshipping this golden calf until they die of lack of health care.
