This term? Nah that's for commies, now. That term? Nope, that's for Nazis now.

It's like the left and right are just polarising everything and anything reasonable in-between is being ripped apart.

GOD CAN WE NOT DESTROY EVERY REASONABLE WORD AND CALL IT RACIST PLEASE THANK YOU

The progressives have spoken. That term you thought before meant good things now means bad things. Now you have to use only their words.

I've had enough of reasonable terms being smeared and turned into far-right euphemisms. I'm on the left, ffs.

Being left-leaning it's like every reasonable term is slowly being taken away until only the extremes are left. It's taking the piss.

So because some people use it as a dog whistle, the term now means that? What if they decide to redefine feminist? Do we abandon that, too?https://twitter.com/jimurillo98/status/883104142125924353 …

Here's me thinking western values just meant freedom and equality and respecting people's human rights regardless of race/gender/sexuality!

When did promoting western values suddenly becoming right wing or bad? Have I missed something here? :/

1: I'm not a fan of Trump 2: Pro-LGBT 3: Pro-gender-equality, but critical of some feminist theory/perspectiveshttps://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/883097784659972099 …

I like you Contra, and I do value your views, but I really have to disagree. Don't let a phrase become tarnished by a minority of bigots.

Because racists use it? That doesn't mean the term is a dog whistle. It's just easier to say than listing off a bunch of moral values.

I don't give a damn what a person's skin colour, sexuality or gender is if they're good people and uphold good moral values.

What? It's just a generic term for freedom and social values of the west. When did this become a dog whistle? How is western values = bad?https://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/883098500166283267 …

Expect news stories in a few days about "right-wing media" attacking Sarsour over her comments, and appeals to Islamic interpretation.
