look for her "Excitable Speech", it’s all there. totally against it. an excerpt poorly translated: "Stating that certain utterances are always offensive, regardless of context, that carry their contexts with them in ways that are difficult to describe, yet it is not understanding how context is invoked at the moment of utterance". there are more incisive parts I’m not finding rn. but while I agree with you I really don’t see it being called out, not until it’s too late and we’re totally enslaved. that’s the plan. as I’ve written during the pandemic: who is going to fight against control (of the state, of power etc.) if those who used to fight it now are the ones who demand it?

try to translate this article by a friend of mine, lygia maria, we used to protest together when we were kids, now she’s considered an alt-right by brazilian left and most of our friends quit talking to her, she’s columnist of folha de sp (which would make ME stop talking to her, lol) and hated by both sides: https://www.facebook.com/100006566658355/posts/pfbid0arYTpazSwzzXFM2hRUFphG2rEoapq6hb7M2LbzjtxLqsE3JsCXFAaWu2TbYuVXewl/?mibextid=Nif5oz
