What happens if the magic words stop working?

What will happen if people are called any kind of ‘-ist’ or ‘-phobe’, and they just don’t care anymore?
The power of those words completely underpin political correctness. Without them, the entire house of cards falls down.
Maybe that is a big part of Progressives’ anxiety right now. They NEED a way to shut people down during debate.

They already have.
Being called racist, islamaphobe, anti semite means absolutely nothing anymore.

It’s safe to say that we’re already there. The fatigue is real.
Notable fake racism injected into everything since about 2008.

I've been called a misogynist. I asked if she was on her period when she came to that conclusion. Hilarity ensued.
This should be required reading material.

(One of) my favorite biblical passages still rings true today.
It’s never too late to repent :)
quote:
Jeremiah 17:5 New International Version 5 This is what the Lord says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.

I never cared what I was called. My only concern was having the crazies dig up the name of my employer and threaten my livelihood.
And now I’m retired.
Related, the word “racist” has evolved so it means almost nothing except as an insult hurled at political opponents.

Lean into it when they label you.

It's already starting to happen. The political class and the entertainment class haven't quite gotten the message yet, but they are starting to.
These things don't happen quickly so we won't get to 80s/90s levels of DGAF for another 5-10 years.

It is also vv important to the proggies to play the "Change the language" game. Oh no, we use this now, instead of that.
I can guarantee that you reach an age where you could not care less what retards think. Oriental people also do not give a shite about being called Orientals.

There are still plenty of magic words that can get you in trouble.

After the 2016 GE the rules were challenged, after the 2020 GE the rules were abolished.

Nobody cares as is.
A phobia is a fear. Nobody fears homosexuals, or women, or Islam... A lot of people just don't like them. That's a big difference.
