Yesterday i was out driving and my passenger told me to go “straight” thru the intersection,
And it reminded me of some sh*t i had forgotten all about.
Back in the day, we used to say “straight”, as in, go “straight” thru the intersection,
But then one day, one of our gay friends “corrected” us, and told us not to say “straight”, but instead say “forward”.
As in, go “forward” thru the intersection.
And just like that, we never said “straight” again. We always said “forward” after that.
I suppose the straight/forward thing was an earlier version of the woke pronoun thing.
Anyway, i guess i had never really thought about it, and was just being overly-accomodating to someones irrational demands.
If someone gets offended by someone saying “go straight thru the intersection”, thats their own problem that they will have to learn to cope with.
Because from now on, when im the navigator, im going to tell the driver to go straight.
As I think about it, I've only ever said "go straight". And I always will.
These past few years have taught me a lot, and one of the most important lessons is how powerful yet subtle language is in changing societal attitudes. And we've been letting the other team win battle after battle because it just didn't seem like a big deal to say "forward" instead of "straight" for the sake of unity. After all, they mean basically the same thing, right? But after concession after concession, we find we are on the verge of losing everything.
So I'm launching a language counter-offensive. No more euphemisms to allow them to obscure the truth about what they're doing. In fact, I am fighting back with full-strength dysphemism to force them to face the ugly reality.
Now, I refuse to say "abortion", referring to it instead by the more intellectually honest term "infanticide". If somebody wants to argue my use of the word, I challenge them to prove to me that it is NOT infanticide--it's a battle they cannot win.
Similarly, instead of asking "so what did your doctor say", I'll now ask "what did your pharmaceutical rep say"?
Instead of "Susan is a social studies teacher at the local public elementary school", I would say "Susan is an indoctrination agent at the local reeducation camp."
And so on. At this point, I could care less if anybody is offended; I'll not have peace with monsters.
The most important battles in this war will not be fought with bullets, but with words. Happy hunting!
