I love how this is making everyone mad at progressives. Not one progressive asked for this and not one progressive is going to call people white supremacists for using the word "master".

Let's call a spade a spade and recognize that this was a big company trying to sound "woke" without doing anything.

Is the SJW crowd not progressive? Are they not "real progressives"?

[crocodiletears]

A lot of oughties progressives fail to realize that they won the lions share of the first phase of the culture war going into the early teens. At that point, they stopped being progressive, and instead became the status quo (not necessarily conservative, but relativistically more adjacent to conservatism now).

Because they can't see this, they're loath to let go of the label in spite of the fact that they're now 'just' liberals.

Left-aligned culture warriors (sjws) are far more deserving of the label 'progressive', and generally the target of teeth gnashing about progressives. This is often taken as a personal, and non-sequiturial affront by those previous recipients of the label.

Im so confused by these labels. I did the political compass thing and fell hard in the bottom left quadrant of left leaning libertarian.

Doesnt that mean i should align with these sjw types? Personally i find them detestful.

To level things up even more, while the phrase “spade a spade” doesn’t appear to have anything to do with race, “spade” is used as a slur for black people too!

Let’s pick a different idiom though https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/09/19/224183763...
