Yeah, that’s the thing.

I think a lot of people spend all day on leftist YouTube and live in leftist Discord servers and hang out with self-proclaimed Marxist friends, and that’s all completely fine, but as a result of people not being tuned into their specific vernacular they act like this shit is a dog whistle instead of the fact that i just don’t know (or care much about) this specific vocabulary.

I suppose I could be a useful idiot for this, but I don’t feel like saying “democrat” is really that bad as far as these things go.

To be fair, republicans are far worse with regards to “pretending to be offended”. You cannot convince me that anyone is actually offended by the term “happy holidays”, but every year I get to hear about a “war on Christmas”

I have personally known people to be offended by the term and the broader war on Christmas they feel it represents.

I know a bunch of people who say they’re offended by it. I don’t believe them, they’re lying to me or themselves, but I think the former.

I could be wrong, it’s likely even, but it’s just not something I am going to be convinced of. I think they’re pretending to be offended, because if they act offended then it’s easier for them to “both-sides” stuff, or they think it shows how good of Christians they are.
