    We can’t even agree on what most of these words mean, much less get the majority of people to care about whether we adhere to them. I know multiple people who think the entirety of science is wrong, and that hispanic people don’t have the human right of safe housing, even when legal citizens.

      I think the point here is less about actually throwing these terms around and more about the absurdity that it’s basically already like this and folks ain’t being honest about it

      Your point is that the terms on the first panel are more clear?

      Well, either way, calling xenophobia as “barbarism” is a nice ironical way for the language to evolve.

        My point is that the time when we might have found the right words to fix things is almost certainly over. It’s now time to start fighting against injustice with real action.
