To be fair, I can’t read the whole article cuz it’s behind a paywall. However, the first bit of article seems to identify a group of people who are anti-racist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and anti- misogynistic and a group of people who are the opposite of the above with some fascism on top.

they didn't vet their sources. I checked the first link which led to a download to my e-reader. it was supposed to be a list of substitute words & phrases necessitated by political correctness, but some of these phrases just don't exist --straight up confabulation concerning hip hop versus hep hep

The Atlantic: "Yes, we know the word Woke was created by black people and turned into an anti-black slur... Now let's accept this and write an article"

The examples this dumb fuck gives of the authoritarian Left enforcing “speech codes” are all optional shit w/ zero consequences if not adopted while the Far Right “speech codes” are literally the FUCKING GOV’T COMING DOWN ON YOU LIKE A TON OF BRICKS IF YOU DON’T COMPLY. What a fucking clown.

The woke left cares about people, equality ,equity, law and order equal justice and democracy and the planet.The right stealing, corruption, racism authoritarian and billionaires and funeling peoples money to the 1%

One minor quibble: “It forced Romance languages like Spanish to submit to gender-neutral constructions such as Latinx.” LatinX was proposed as an ENGLISH word to replace Latino/a in non-gender specific cases, which is as much an English word at this point as it is Spanish one.

You’re over-generalizing what I’m saying. The word Latino is an English word. It is listed in English language dictionaries. It is used unitalicized in English texts. Français is not an English word.

If I were TCW’s editor, I would have forced him to rewrite the article without using the word ‘woke’ - which has become ubiquitous and thus, meaningless. The resulting piece would describe a shift in influence between two groups trying to accomplish very different goals: equality vs. cruelty.

I am starting to talk publicly about white #fragility because of the blame conservatives are placing on DEI for supposedly holding America and Europe back. It was white people we had to cater to the whole time because of that fragility, the beneficiaries of an “old boys’ club” who overlook faults

My favorite bosses came from other countries because they were less offended by disagreements and knew how to navigate them with grace. White Americans tend to view a disagreement as an existential threat, and need to learn to separate ideas from people: hbr.org/2019/01/how-... #innovation #culture

from linked sources: "hip-hip hurray, hip hip hooray hooray This term was used by German citizens during the Holocaust as a rallying cry when they would hunt down Jewish citizens living in segregated neighborhoods. " seriously? this is the title of a Naughty by Nature song." Hep hep" was Nazi .

Stop with the both sides. I’d also like to point out that everything on the left originated in academia or similar; not the Democratic Party. It was never politicians or the establishment telling people to add pronouns to their email signatures or to use Latinx, etc. The right on the other hand…..

….there’s no comparison. There’s a huge difference between left leaning folks calling people out on Twitter, or a company giving the ok to add pronouns to en email signature AND the Pres of the US renaming a mass of water that has been called the same damn thing for five centuries. Ditto Mt. Denali
