Someone recently got in hot water for using “colored people”. The last I heard it is “People of Color”.

It is strange to see all the “thought crime” being set up by the left.

I still don’t understand the term “Hate Crime”, since all violent crime is usually based on hatred.

We use the woI believe the word “crime” is French for sin.

So we are saying people are guilty of sin, and yet the “new think” believes there is no such thing as sin.

“I still don’t understand the term “Hate Crime...”

It is a term to describe laws designed to put Caucasians in jail.

crime (n.)

mid-13c., “sinfulness,” from Old French crimne (12c., Modern French crime), from Latin crimen (genitive criminis) “charge, indictment, accusation; crime, fault, offense,” perhaps from cernere “to decide, to sift” (from PIE root *krei- “to sieve,” thus “discriminate, distinguish”).

But Klein (citing Brugmann) rejects this and suggests *cri-men, which originally would have been “cry of distress” (Tucker also suggests a root in “cry” words and refers to English plaint, plaintiff, etc.). Meaning “offense punishable by law” is from late 14c. The Latin word is glossed in Old English by facen, also “deceit, fraud, treachery.” Crime wave first attested 1893, American English.

Liberals say they and they alone are smart, educated, rational, tolerant, LOVE.

By their own definition, expressing any other opinion is hate speech if they don’t assume you’re a stupid fool.

And daring to maintain and defend contrary views or failing to go along with their policies wrapped in the mantle of “love, peace and tolerance” is a crime. In the name of tolerance, you’re an evil hater fit for prison if you don’t go along with their fascism wrapped in fuzzy warm and lovey mantle.

The control-left is what maternal dystopia looks like, in contrast to jack boots and power and strength of the paternal dystopia, the tyrannical father archetype. The maternal dystopia is the devouring mother, setting all these rules and trapping you in dependency, out of misplaced compassion and desire to protect.
