Sorry, I refuse to treat adults like little babies who meltdown when they hear a word with more than 3 syllables.

You know what I think is a better idea than turning your back on progressive causes Actually teaching people what these terms mean

You don't need to turn your back on any causes to talk about them in the language that a 45 yo high school graduate in a Midwestern state can understand. They aren't dumb even if they don't know that unhoused is the term for homeless "without the stigma of being homeless".

I haven't read Chris Hayes' book on the attention economy. But it sound like you think attention is free. Have you read it?

if a grown adult has no care to learn new words or terms then not only do i have no patience for them, odds are they're a republican anyway you got time to want to help the homeless but you changed your mind because "new word"? and to answer your question: LMFAO BE FR MAN

The problem with your idea is you thing the denotative meaning is the only meaning and that connotative meaning that isn't described is discardable. You are wrong.

These words come across as shubboleths. You ignore that aspect.

Have you ever heard the phrase "meet then where they're at"? It appears in addiction and homelessness work.

they are dumb if they hear a word they're unfamiliar with and instead of being an adult and looking it up like an adult should do and like we were taught to do in elementary school they just mentally shut down instead.
