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.

"An apology used to mean sincere remorse for an error or moment of bad judgment."

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

I just do not understand why these folks are not learning from years worth of examples that bending a knee to the prog not only does not work, it only makes things worse.

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.

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.
