People like thinking the best of themselves, which is partially why we have “trigger warnings,” “microaggressions” and claims of “taking offense” -- so these complainers don’t have to come to terms with the fact they’re spoiled, self-absorbed, tyrannical brats.
Here’s how it works: when accusing you of “microaggressing,” the truth is that, generally, these snowflakes just don’t happen to like what you’re saying. But shouting “Shut up! I hate that type of expression!” makes you seem intolerant. So to preserve your image and self-image, you use the ploy of shifting the onus onto the one whose speech you want to suppress.
Note that actual ideas are often targeted. Examples are “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” and “Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough,” which academia has identified as “racial microaggressions.” The principle is: if you can’t refute it, boot it.
Since coining psychobabble terms is in today, I’ll label this onus-switching “Oppression Transference.” The snowflake oppressor stifles the speech of his victim by making the latter seem the oppressor -- a microaggressor, an agent of triggered feelings or offender in chief.
Another major factor is that, lacking the power of the state, the snowflake has to use social pressure to impose his will. He might just put you in a gulag were he a Stalin, but he’s not, so he shackles you with political correctness.

Orwell was right. If you control the speech, you control the culture.
If anybody ever accuses me of ‘micro’ aggression, I will politely and forcefully tell them in no uncertain terms that I AM ABOUT TO GO MACRO-AGGRESSION ON THEIR CANDY-ASS.................
So...when the author says you, does he really mean you or does he mean me, or who exactly does he mean?
Everyone is you. No He, they ,she, them... the closest is these.
One of the reasons Trump won......he is a genius at managing the conversation.
Hillary OTOH, sounded like a focus-group of one. She had no authenticity.....everything she said sounded like it came out of the campaign machine.
The author uses “you” to mean anyone singled out by these PC tyrants, which includes nearly anyone with a conservative thought in their heads.
LOL
I AM ABOUT TO GO MACRO-AGGRESSION ON THEIR CANDY-ASS.................
I was all set to pop a mint into my mouth, but now I’m so aggrieved by your aggression, I’m going to take a shot of Jim Beam and lay a wet towel across my eyes...
She had no authenticity....
looking back on it, I’m surprised she did as well as she did...terrible candidate...
Jim Beam?
You mean a Triple-sec and tonic..................
She did “as well as she did” b/c of massive voter fraud.
You mean a Triple-sec and tonic...

Laphroaig!
