New rules…
Microaggression   

The left is making up new rules for language and concepts like microaggressions faster than anyone in the real world can even absorb them.

Now you’re some sort of hater if you mispronounce someone’s name.

Redefining language continuously so as to create new categories of punishable offenses is common to all dictatorships.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Here is your microaggression test. Pronounce this name:

L-A

It is pronounced, of course, La-dash-ah.

Bonus points, prounounce:

William

..and I bet you are wrong. It is pronounced, Will I Am

Newspeak.  George Orwell must be grinning in grim satisfaction that his dystopias were not, after all, just fiction.

That makes me laugh, because I work with a guy named Bill (we constantly give each other crap), who I call Bill I Am.

Then you would be transgenderist.

Just go ahead and accept it now. No matter what you say or do; you're wrong.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!
