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.

whoever says they experienced it! or whoever you're talking to! what??
