"Nativism or nativistic aims are repugnant to socialistic thought."

I'm only half through this document and hve no comments yet, but this is a must read.

Very nice indeed. Thanks for finding that.

How far we've fallen, eh?

Keep telling the same untruth over and over again and eventually people will believe it. WE SHOULD AVOID SUCH LANGUAGE MISUSE LIKE PLAGUE! We should positively RUN from it, scramble like mad to retract and explain, make the sign of the cross, wear garlic necklaces, whatever it takes to get on the side of precision and clarity. Because if we do anything else, we muddy the water around us, end up steering by our wake, and ultimately run against a rock and sink.

I disagree with this completely...you described perfectly the thinking that I am talking about and calling “political correctness run amok.”


This is our problem.

Unity is less important than your point. Indeed, it is completely unimportant compared to your point.

This is the fatal premise:


]Putting the proper use of language – as laboriously worked out through a partisan political lens of causes and issues - above consideration for other human beings is what is killing us.

Because we consider human beings so much, both individually and collectively, we insist on precision.

HAHAHAHAHA :mrgreen:
