      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Judd Legum

      Everyone who has ever said "It’s the status quo that’s radical" was a radical. Wanting a drastic departure from the status quo is the dictionary definition of "radical." If you need to try to change the meaning of words, you are probably losing.https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1199359400194007040 …

      Defending corporate interests does not make you a “moderate.” Amazon is a trillion dollar company and pays zero federal income taxes. It’s the status quo that’s radical.

      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Dave Weigel

      If you are calling for replacing ICE with an agency with substantially the same functions, that's not actually "abolishing" it. In which case, it's not semantical at all. Words have meaning.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1199358977626320906 …

      Dan McLaughlin added,

      Dave WeigelVerified account @daveweigel
      "Abolish ICE" push kind of fell apart for the same semantical reason: Republicans pretended that Democrats wanted absolutely no immigration or customs enforcement. Warren never said "abolish" herself, talked about "replacing" ICE. https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/1199357868992090113 … https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/30/politics/elizabeth-warren-ice-immigration-protests/index.html …

      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Paul Waldman

      The term's counterproductive because that *is* what the word "privilege" means in English. Try telling low-income African-Americans they're privileged bc they live on stolen Native American land & don't live in, say, Afghanistan. Words have meaning.https://twitter.com/paulwaldman1/status/1201541671957270528 …

      Paul WaldmanVerified account @paulwaldman1
      To white people who hear "white privilege" and think "Nobody's handing me anything!", another way to think about it is what you DON'T have to worry about. I'm a white guy who has been driving for 30+ years. Know how many times I've been pulled over when I wasn't speeding? ZERO. https://twitter.com/byjoelanderson/status/1201532110579724288 …

      Like redefining "racism" as something other than racial discrimination & prejudice, this is a textbook example of how progressive efforts to remake the language to appeal to woke-academic sentiment works against the ends they claim to desire in persuading ordinary people.

      If you actually want to persuade Americans that a segment of the population faces a chronic injustice, argue that. It won't always work, but historically, it has many times. Telling working-class voters they're privileged is how you talk if you don't care if they believe you.

          "My community has been gutted and 1/4 of my graduating class is in jail or dead, but I am statistically less likely to be pulled over in a suburb I'll never visit, so I've got that going for me." Winning argument.

          Dan if the Democrats win their punishment of the working class will be amazing but not unforeseen

          You are aware that minorities are working class people too yes? For some reason, sometimes black people are excluded from the working man conversations. Do you really believe that dems are going to punish their most consistent voters if they win?

          That's the point. Intersectionalists aren't interested in the veracity of their claim. They simply seek justification for their perverse ideology. White Privilege is the Flavor Aid for the cult of victimization.

          The greatest mistake the Left ever made in this country was finding a bunch of college-educated urban rich kids, conferring upon them moral authority based solely on their race, and sending them out to lecture old white people in dead and rusting towns about “privilege.”

          It's how you talk if you're intent is to self-inflate, rather than persuade.

          Wasn’t there a movie that traced the roots of the Civil Rights movement in America by telling the black lawyers to pitch their arguments about discrimination in terms of what the white judges could relate to - namely law school admission process? Make the discrimination relatable
