Those bullshit positions are the first to go in any kind of recession or downturn, that's the most likely explanation.

Or they don't see the point in arguing with people who are obviously against any sort of progressive or inclusive adjustments to society.

I want a progressive, inclusive society. I want a society that argues and fights for actual change, not just changing word usage. I bristle at the “master vs. main” debate not because I’m racist, but because it distracts from real impactful change. Every second spent arguing over whether “master” has meaning outside a slavery context is a second NOT spent on expanding educational equity or progressive taxation. The people who are benefiting from the status quo want us fighting over the dictionary.
