She says "Don't say" exactly six times. That is quite literally dictating to people what they are allowed to say. And according to you, people who defy that dictation are bringing Trump's abuses on themselves. Maybe you should consider being less of an authoritarian thought policer.

You're confused. She's not dictating anything. I'm sure she would tell you have the right to say anything you want. All she is saying is that woke language policing is something that resulted in Trump running the country. She's making an argument, one I totally agree with.

People do scared of fake policing (being scolded online) that they voted for real policing and harassment and censorship. Sure that makes sense. Get scolded online? Must vote for literal fascism.

To pretend that we are talking only about online scolding is ridiculous. People lost their jobs, many people were forced to go through stupid training classes at work. People hate that stuff and for good reason.

You do realize a teacher could lose their job right now if they were c to say something like "I'm unhoused" because of this real government censorship.

You're a literal former CEO. What's the problem with going through a training class at work?

if all it takes to trigger folks into supporting open fascism is the existence & use of scary woke-looking words, we're already fucked

(setting aside, ofc, that 1. the article is more bullshit from the failures at third way for use in promoting neoliberalism & maligning the left & 2. people don't use these words in day-to-day convos anyway)
