Seinfeld had an episode devoted to these types of sentences, the yada-yada-yada episode. Where Jerry's girlfriend would say something like "I went to the store and saw some shoes I really liked, but couldn't afford, and yada-yada-yada, I got free shoes!" Turns out, the yada-yada-yada was her shoplifting them.
In this case, what you've done is take out the "actively attentive to" and "facts" from the sentence. You did this 100% on purpose, because you put in the dots between them, you consciously omitted those words. Funny that you omitted "facts" when misquoting the brief snippet of the definition.
Many of the "facts" that are purported by woke folk are controversial. They're either opinions, or they're based off of controversial data. Yet, they are presented as fact, that if you do not agree with those facts, it is because you are evil. Many of those issues are also controversial, and also given the same treatment - agree with the woke that these are big issues, and agree with the woke on the position on the issue, or you are labeled evil. Having had disagreements with their data and with their opinions, and then being called names and a liar and all sorts of hateful rhetoric because I'm not 100% in line with their agenda, it makes me much less likely to agree with them.
This brings us back to "actively attentive to." This is the part that prompts the right to call this "divisive identity politics", is because that active attention to our differences tends to divide us more than push us together. When you pick at a scab, it bleeds and never heals. When you constantly tell someone they're different, they're going to start to feel so. I remember when I was a little kid and I thought people of darker skin just had a darker tan. (Which is actually kind of true). That was the only difference I saw between me and my darker-skinned neighbors and classmates. I think we'd be much better off if the vast majority of people treated race as only being skin-deep, instead of actively attentive to what skin color everyone is and how that supposedly affects their fate.
We've even seen calls for segregation coming back around, calls that I have seen you support on this forum. That was the point I lost all respect for you, and you were previously one I held in the highest esteem. Up to that point, you were my favorite mod, if not my favorite poster on this forum. But when I saw that post, there was no turning back.
Edit to add: This is the thread I'm referring to. Since I did make such a bold claim.
So seen this on Facebook. Apparently this instructor is refusing to teach women students for some reason. I donāt know the guy and donāt know his reasons but thought Iād post it on here and see if anyone knew. Hereās the post I saw. Kat Hill
