Phobic comes from the Greek word for something one fears irrationally, like spiders or germs, but now is used as a suffix for anything you just don\u2019t like.I\u2019ve been called commitment phobic. No, I don\u2019t fear commitment, I just don\u2019t want it. Other people do. Great! I don\u2019t call them single phobic. I don\u2019t like bowling. I\u2019m not bowling phobic. And if I talk about how wrong I think it is to force women to wear a beekeeper suit all day, that\u2019s not being Islamophobic; I just don\u2019t like it. And I bet they don\u2019t either. I went as a ghost for Halloween once; I lasted about 20 minutes.Also in the category of, \u2018we just don\u2019t like it, so we\u2019re pretending it\u2019s something else,\u2019 is the word \u2018violence.\u2019 Last year, there was a staff mutiny at the CBS drama \u2018All Rise\u2019 when some of the writers \u2014 I\u2019m sorry, I meant victims \u2014 took issue with a scene where two women are in an elevator and a naked man gets on.

The words \u2018victim\u2019 and \u2018survivor\u2019 have traveled a long way from their original usage. The baby from the Nirvana album says he\u2019s a victim. He\u2019s suing Nirvana for lifelong damages. I never thought I\u2019d have to say this to a baby, but stop being such a f***ing baby.You\u2019re not a victim; there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t have a normal happy life just because people look at you and think baby penis. It didn\u2019t hurt Trump. In 2010, The New York Times used the term white supremacist on 75 occasions. Last year, over 700 times. Now, some of that, to be sure is because Trump came along and emboldened the faction of this country that is truly white [supremacist]. It is, of course, still a real thing. But it shouldn\u2019t apply to something like, as more than a few have suggested, getting rid of the SAT test. \u2026 But of course, the SAT doesn\u2019t have questions like that. So it becomes a kind of ludicrous exaggeration that makes lovers of common sense roll their eyes, and then vote for Trump. Now, are there snowflakes on the Right? Of course; there\u2019s no whinier little b**** than Trump himself. But this kind of stuff does tend to stick to the Left a lot more. Have you ever heard a parent call their child their hero? What party are they probably in? My kid is my hero. Why? He\u2019s six; did he pull [someone] out of a burning building? My hero! Look at the way he shares his Ritalin. You do realize how stupid it sounds to imply you want to grow up to be your kid?During the pandemic, everyone was a hero. Now, for sure, frontline medical workers really were and are. But then it spread to civil servants, and then anyone who just went to work \u2014 postal employees, Amazon stockers. One day I found myself saying to the guy collecting carts at Ralph\u2019s, thank you for your service.And then there\u2019s shaming. That definition has been rewritten to mean anything that suggests I\u2019m not 100% perfect. I\u2019m not fat shaming when I call bull**** on the idea that a person can be healthy at any size. We\u2019re so through the looking glass on this that Weight Watchers changed their name to \u201cWW.\u201d The weight loss people can\u2019t mention weight loss. Adele was shamed for losing weight, like she was a traitor to what, unhealthiness? When I have reported the statistic that 78% of the people who died or were hospitalized with COVID were overweight, that\u2019s not fat shaming, that\u2019s fatsplaining. It\u2019s what the CDC should be doing. And this is the essence of why word inflation is a problem. You can try to change reality by changing the words, but you can\u2019t. It just stops you from dealing with it. One of the bad guys in \u201c1984\u201d says, \u201dThe whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought.\u201d Yes, it\u2019s Orwellian. And you know what they say, Orwell never ends well.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
