ouEight12 | on: Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
>That some people are evil and should be stopped.

That's the rhetoric of both sides though, isn't it?

the only difference is in who the far left vs far right each believe "should be stopped".

yes, thats why I chose it.

I think the point slipped past, we started with you saying MAGA is innocent.

I pointed out that words have context. I gave an example of innocent words, which can be used by bad people, to sound just.

MAGA, is in this category.

Its not considered innocent, and most people will assume that you are being false or misleading when you say "i dont know why this is bad".

Its kinda like showing a Man U flag in an Arsenal town - its impolite. One is expected to have the awareness of how their team is behaving and perceived.

I mean, its your team, of course you should know everything about it, from its good PR to its bad PR.

the issue is that the other side applied a context to it that is not the same context people who created it mean. So you’re taking your own interpretation applying it to somebody else’s saying and turning it into a negative thing even though that’s not what they mean by it. And then you are lambasting them for your own negative connotation applied to what they think is a positive thing.
