@ebel @starbreaker it's deeply fascinating to me what the media landscape has become by allowing the euphemisms of fascists to seep into daily reporting…
…it's somehow like… the whole two-sides "argument" but for political correctness
some folks like to explain "political correctness" as "politeness" and this is something pseudo progressive journos can very much identify with: and they wouldn't wanna be rude to anyone, so better use the language they prefer…

@starbreaker y'know I've started to more openly call out the euphemisms. "freedom to serve who you want" was always a euphemism for "freedom to turn away LGBTQ people without repercussions". They never actually believed in freedom to serve who you want, it was always about the LGBTQ people (and PoC when they can get away with it).
We should never have used their euphemisms. It was a bad faith argument from them, we shouldn't have helped them by using the euphemism
