An apology used to mean sincere remorse for an error or moment of bad judgment. Apologies now are often acts of surrender, a plea to the woke masters for just one more chance. Today, people apologize because they are more afraid than sorry.
Public figures believe that apologizing eases tensions in such a divided culture. It doesn’t. Their wimpy, inevitable apologies are what fuel the outrage crowd by validating their hypersensitivity.
Each week on cue, some person of influence issues an apology to “those offended.” And last week, the perpetually offended scored two quick wins.
First, 75-year-old crime author James Patterson apologized for noticing that publishing companies are not looking to hire white male authors anymore. Next, Rainn Wilson from The Office said he was very sorry for joking about the term to describe transgenders who breastfeed.
Here are their official letters of regret....

I don’t think I have started apologizing.
If someone has a master they’d better apologize. It’s part of the shame they’ve already accepted.
Apologizing for something you did wrong is appropriate.
Apologizing to keep the peace is appeasement and appeasement NEVER works. It’s a sign of weakness to the one who is pretending to be offended and is trying to control the narrative.
Actually,
the original meaning of 'apology' wasn't "I'm sorry" at all apology..Apology comes to English from the Greek roots of apo- (“away from, off”) and logia (from logos, meaning “speech”). The word's earliest meaning in English was “something said or written in defense or justification of what appears to others to be wrong or of what may be liable to disapprobation.” To anyone who has ever studied ancient Greek or read widely of certain philosophers, this will come as no surprise. Plato’s Apology of Socrates is an account of the self-defense presented at the trial of Socrates, not an explanation of how that philosopher admitted his transgressions. - https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/the-history-of-the-word-apology
Apologia - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologia An apologia is a formal defense of an opinion, position or action. The term's current use, often in the context of religion, theology and philosophy, derives from Justin Martyr's First Apology
It’s blood in the water to liberals.
What’s the term for trannies that “breastfeed”?
I will not. Apologize. /Blue Oyster Cult.
Nevermind, I just clicked on the article. “chest-feeding”.... that’s just stupid... I can’t even think of a good joke.
I have never been confronted by any misinformed or highly misguided prog spouting "say their name" or demanding I publicly apologize for this or that BS du jour they might be trying to sell.
Perhaps it is the 20" steel Bonowi baton I have hanging out of my belt, which is legal here in Texas.

Brainiac 😁
But agree, never apologize to those wanting to destroy you.
It is like letting sharks smell blood.
😆👍
Great minds think alike.
I’ve got balls and a backbone. I will NEVER apologize to a pinko if all I did was speak truth.
Apologize? Now that’s going to be a problem.
I tried apologizing to a girl who used weaponized victimhood to terrorize my family at a family get together just to keep the peace. Never again.
I wrote that girl and those who supported her out of my life that day.
My apology? “I’m sorry you’re an absolute a**ho*e.
Two anti-woke suggestions.
If asked your pronouns, answer “Eff You” and You Faggot.”
Always refer to male-female trannies as “female impersonators.”
I saw Tucker use that one last night.
That’s why one course taught in seminary is “Apologetics”. Defending your doctrine ir faith.
