The same white people — and let’s be honest, it is white progressives and mostly the AWFULs (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals) — who brought us Latinx are undeterred that Latino families have rejected their change in language.
We can kill this one. Just start a viral meme in social media that claims that their new term is easily mistaken as "Latrine".
You think this is a joke? Not really, this is how we need to play the game against them. The reason they come up with these stupid labels other than their corrupt campus professor-injected Maoist strategy to cause cultural chaos in the existing system so that they can implement their collectivist nightmare, is that it provides them social status. These are the children of upper class coastal and big city families where modern paths to exceed the accomplishments of their parents are in short supply. They invent upper class decorum rules that are like a cult so that they can carve out their own feeling of smug superiority over what they considered the cult-ignorant masses. The only way to combat that is to:
1. Embarrass and humiliate them with every new adopted cult practice.
How stupid are they!! (rhetorical question) We Hispanics prefer to be called Americans not Latine, Latinx, Latino. When will race politics stop, both Dems and Republicans.
Both sides have their "polispeak" vocabulary which signals what side of any issue writers or speakers find themselves. For instance on social media I have been called a libtard and communist by knee-jerk Magaites.
No humor needed when it comes to questioning MAGA. I've seen essays written about why Christians must not question Trump and worship him as our political savior. And I've been called a Democratic Leftist with TDS who is nothing but a coward for pointing out any of Trump's faults, Because Must Take Back The Presidency. "No enemies to the right" is the policy I guess. I am almost exactly the opposite of what I get branded as but online fights in comments don't account for that.
Ok, sure, but Bob talked about political vocabulary, as if it's a divisive thing, and then proceeds to use 'Magaites' to describe those who deride him. Either step away from the practice or be part of it and maybe not condemn those who do the same thing. 'Libtards' is usually used by those who don't have much in the way of substance to offer. But Magaites and Libtards is about on the same plane. And, humor is incredibly useful when there is truth behind it.
Don't quite agree. First halves of libtard and Magaite are taken from accepted names of political POV's. However, the suffix of libtard has a negative judgmental connotation whereas the suffix of Magaite does not. The important thing is to be able to interlocute in such a way that we are not attacking the person but rather discussing the ideas and principles in a positive way (I don't mean necessarily agreeing with them.)
Sounds Like A Lenny Bruce StandUp Comedy from the 60's. Perhaps they have forgotten why that comedian made so much fun at calling every race and gender by every slur know at the time. I guess they don't realize they are at the receiving end of the joke.
However I prefer to stop calling people names...it demeans the one calling them names...and just say
the Walmart Race Car loving Gun Carrying deplorables will be laughing as we vote.
There is no guilt to be felt in being of European descendance while at the same time recognizing that it was European settlers who used their firepower to convince the first caretakers of the land to give it up. And then brought people from tropical Atlantic Africa in chains as property and used their labor w/o recompense to fructify the land. But recognize and learn what happened and the horrors that were committed in carrying out those actions. Secondly work actively to make a reality of the promise of our national pledge of allegiance "... one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice FOR ALL." (my caps)
"universities, museums, researchers, and the media "
- comprising literally hundreds of Americans
The new word for Wokespeak is "Educanto". Saw that on National Review comments.
I bet Latine was invented by some gringa, just like the muy norteamericano Latinx.
What in the hell has happened to white people, this is such BS, we use to be so cool, Love the old days

2. Keep them from winning any political office.
Otherwise we will keep sinking into the latrine.

Think you just did what you described. Were you trying for ironic humor?
Exactly!!
When swords are drawn, there's little place for irony, parody and satire.
Disagree. What about Inigo Montaya and young Wesley?

Erick,

It's this kind of stuff that really does bring out my white guilt.

Spewed my Cheerios! - "Unhoused Latine pregnant person giving birth in the latrine at the canteen..."
Since Axios brought this up should they not have referred to themselves initially as Axix and now in new parlance as Axie?
Rich, rich, rich, rich! What else can be said for your writing here, Eric?
IT IS SAD- People get mad and "steamed Up' over these types of small things.
Then something awful hits like Cancer, Child sickness etc and they had already used their energy
White, female, college educated, 45-55 years old - head bangingly horrible. May drug and crime infested tent cities descend on their neighborhoods.
If you oppose this you are racine.
What a great little factoid to start my weekend. Thanks, Erick.
Orwell warned us.
