What @EPoe187 doesn't reflect on is that all those issues deal directly with what bell hooks described as
"“white supremacist capitalist patriarchy" and that academia is one of the only places where challenging the status quo and caring about the marginalized is normalized.

@EPoe187 complaining about "redefining words" and obscurism when academic texts analyze ignored or marginalized sources, use words with greater specificity and create new ones.
The far right and IDW love mentioning 1984 but they obviously never read it.

@EPoe187 is upset there are new words, that language is living and fluid. He's upset there's not a «meaning rigidly defined» and he accuses academics of obscuring the truth by their use of language.
He can't even accuse others of wanting to remove even slurs from vocabulary either. The marginalized know the meaning the word, the dominant group does, slurs are even reclaimed with the ironic nature of that reclamation known to inside & outside groups.
We all know the N word.

Look at this hypocrisy.
He attacks others for shutting down arguments and wants the media to immediately shut down Biden for accurately pointing out voter suppression laws are reminiscent of Jim Crow.
