When everyone is a racist, no one is a racist.

Absolutely. It makes the meaning so convoluted as to be ludicrous.

They use it as a general slur against any opposition. They also use guns as a general blame shifter for the damage their policies do.

Anyone who doesn't think that the powerful will conspire with each other for their own benefit is a bit short of a full load. Use that term to shame people out of considering realistic possibilities.

Given power, some people -- probably most people -- will abuse that power. The singular idea of the left is: Give government regulators more power.

We know what will happen then.

Leftists of my acquaintance often seemed to simply not see the danger. Frequent around a university.

You know you’re a racist if your skin is white and you know you’re a sexist if you pee standing up.

@

Jeff Schreiber That will be hard since it seems that the Anti Semites may be the ones who claim they are the Semites when it looks like they may be decedents of the Khazar tribes of Russia which weren't Semites. And I guess for suggesting such a possibility makes me as well as Arthur Koestler who is the author of The Thirteenth Tribe (https://www.amazon.com/Thirteenth-Tribe-Khazar-Empire-Heritage/dp/1939438993 4.7 out of 5 stars 726 rating) an anti Semite or maybe we are pro Semite and the Semites who are anti Semite are really not anti Semite because the anti Semites can't be Semites who are anti Semites. And Arthur Koestler, who is Jewish is simply a self hating Jew which makes him an anti Semite of himself as well as all those people who rated his anti Semitic history lesson/book proving that anti Semitism is rampant at Amazon reviews. Now wasn't that simple? It's easy to do a You know you're an antisemite when! Get to it!
