Go back and read carefully.
Tony asserts that Bondi said PEOPLE are contagious.
Bondi actually said the IDEOLOGY at the core of the troon religion has become contagious.
OK, what is the effective difference? Some dipshit hairsplitting?
The people are absolutely the ones spreading the contagion.
This is the difference, and what the difference means.
- if I say I disagree with something someone is DOING, their ideology, their actions, the locus of blame is with THEM.
Now how can the person react? They must justify their actions.
-if I say THEY are the problem, then how can they react? In this current year where anything you ARE is an identity and all identities are valid? Now the locus of blame is with ME and I can be painted as a bigot and they don’t need to justify their actions at all.
Example 1. Homophobia being coined as a concept. Previously a man would do homosexual acts, and people would react with disgust. Locus of blame is with the person doing the acts. Now ‘homophobia’ is invented, and suddenly it’s an innocent identity and I’m a bigot.
See the difference? It allows the guilty party to avoid justifying his actions, like a big REEEE! Shield .
Of course they’re the ones spreading the ideology, of course they’re cancer. But if you play with their choice of words you end up in their trap. When you frame it as actions they are doing, it’s harder for them to defend. Why are you backing and defending mutilation of children? That’s a harder question than ‘you’re a massive pervert.’ Both are true accusations, but the latter can be dealt either way by calling the accuser a bigot. It’s a thought terminating move
This technique is used for an awful lot of things. Islamophobia, etc. If you find yourself unable to criticise someone because they’re a protected minority, you’re seeing it in action.
Can’t criticise illegals, no matter what they do
Can’t criticise FGM, it’s part of their reoigiin
Can’t even vaguely suggest that gay men giving blood is a terrible idea, you’re homophobic. Etc. Etc
