A lot of social advice amounts to “round problems down”. Live and let live, turn the other cheek, don’t take things personally, etc. If you avoid escalation, you avoid destructive feedback loops. The concept of microaggressions as endorsed by the modern left does the opposite.

hard disagree. being aware of the microaggression pattern allows you to avoid wearing down those around you (which inevitably leads to escalation)

I don't think you can avoid a thing that can only exist in the bizarre imagination of counterparty. It's like trying to pacify a jealous boyfriend.

I verily doubt that the phenomenon even exists as initially defined by Pierce, let alone has the effects it is implied to have Frankly, "as defined and used" a claim of micro-aggression can not be disproved, kind of like "knocking on table summons bad spirits" can't be disproved

to me it's obviously a thing from simple observation of shit people do, as to effects, enh, anything can have any effect if you wire up the right cognitions between the one and the other

"Microagression reasoning" pattern-matches to pareidolias of controlling shitty partners (mostly but not exclusively male).
