It amazes me that calling people resources survived the language-policing trend of the past 15 years.

Because the language policing trend didn’t happen naturally but was another angle of the divide and conquer, deflecting people to waste time policing language instead of useful endevors while alienating not only people who disagreed about the underlying values but also people tired of people bitching about their use of language.
They needed all of the stops to pull off the elections and one of them was amplifying the most obnoxious aspects of the left, which also affected their credibility, which was important to get the opposition to ignore the warnings about the obvious signs of fascism.
And right now, that same strategy is being used to keep the disillusioned from joining up with the left by amplifying the “fuck you, you’re irredeemable” responses to the ones starting to see Trump for who he is.
