the word 'racist' is used so often for so many non-racist things it's really losing all meaning for me. I bet in a few years they'll have squeezed all the power out of it and will move onto a different term. What's the plausible runner up?

To a lesser extent yes. I don't think it's been weaponized in the same way but I do think it's been overused and weakened.

Bold tweet coming from someone who just called all criticism of cat calling racist, but hey you do you!

I don't actually think all criticism of cat calling is racist. I was poking at how calling things racist sometimes can infringe on other things strong leftism values.

“After saying something racist, being rightfully called out, and not just doubling but tripling down on it, I have decided that the word has no meaning”

I wasn't rightfully called out. They were wrong. I'm not going to be like 'no they were right' just because there's a lot of them. Crowds chanting a thing doesn't make it any more true.

Something akin to “counter-revolutionary”
Anti-woke perhaps?
It will have reached the point where it’s not about any particular thought or deed or principle, but simply “they are against us, therefore they are bad”
