    There is no hypocrisy or contradiction here. Both positions are about maintaining existing power relations. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1013394792674484224 …

        To put it another way...it's the standard "Heads I win tails you lose." They want to ensure you have to use Newspeak, while they can use Realspeak.

        You mean "both arguments," because they are two contradictory *arguments* to uphold the same position.

        They're only contradictory if you lave out how the people making both arguments want them applied. It's OK for Donald to call the pres the enemies of the people- that's "just telling it like it is". It's not OK for a woman on a bike to flip his motorcade the bird, that's RUDE.

        When trust is lost, everything is a mask for war. Cynicism about your opponent’s position is not a step towards rebuilding that trust.

        It's all about if a white dude says something obnoxious "Suck it up and take it cry babies!". But if you criticize a white dude then "Do you know who you're talking to! Do you!!!". That's it.
