Sometimes right-wingers must be really kicking themselves for denouncing the term ”micro-aggression“ instead of co-opting it.
Nah, right-wingers can’t co-opt that, that isn’t how it works. You have to wait for the kinds of violence and broken promises you can associate with careless previous rhetoric, then use it ironically. Like “cultural enrichment”.
Like “Happy Holidays”
It’s not “PC gone mad”. It’s a *micro-aggression*
Nah, Happy Holidays can’t be used ironically politically in that way.
Left-wing people don’t treat socon offendedness seriously and in fact revel in it. They can’t win by co-opting microaggression, progressives will just argue white people aren’t allowed to use it so it doesn’t count blah blah blah. It’s not even a very powerful word.
I mean you’re probably mostly joking, but the alt right and some of the other right wing shitposters are a lot better at this weaponized language thing. You have to either offend the lefties or use language that makes them look bad to others even if they aren’t offended - like “cuck”. (And I know rattumb thinks it’s lame, but as an insult it’s brilliant.) But don’t offend the normies. It’s a careful balance.
