Why do you presuppose that others infer & arrive at the same interpretations you do? Isn't your own form of generalization from the subjective inferences made from your own individual mind, to the thoughts of others, presumptuous?

I'm getting tired of the progressive tendency to read offence, bigotry, racism, sexism, transphobia, etc. into every little word & minutiae of nuance uttered by others. It's on the verge of induced pareidolia for outrage & victimhood.

Do you reside or hail from one of the aforementioned countries, or are you merely "signal boosting" and getting outraged on their behalf?

No, you're just being stupid.

This isn't a new issue. There's an episode of The West Wing about the evils of the Mercator projection. It aired 22 years ago.

When you write an essay doing nothing more than repeating a several-decades-old cliche, people are going to assume you don't have anything to say other than the content of the cliche they heard decades ago. And they will be right.

Did you read the post? I didn't think it was too subtle. Especially because it was so out of place.

Maybe we are using different maps of this literary territory.
