Not really, but even if it was, what meaningful difference would it make? You can see the list if the terms in the article, and it's hard to deny that they are very political.
- swatcoder 4y agoMy ad blocker might be hiding the list you’re talking about. I see a graphic with “Most incresed hype adjectives” but I can’t imagine that’s the one you mean. Can you paste them, maybe?
- phantom_of_cato 4y agoSorry, I wasn't referring to the submitted article, but to the one I had linked to in my comment. There's a list of the terms above the chart in page 6 of the PDF, for example: https://cspi.substack.com/api/v1/file/2f0c41b8-a81b-45b1-9346-42a79680ae53.pdf https://cspi.substack.com/api/v1/file/2f0c41b8-a81b-45b1-934... The fact that these terms are political isn't controversial. In fact, you can trace back the popularization of some of them in political discourse to landmark SCOTUS decisions and executive orders. See [1], for example. [1]: https://www.thirteen.org/wnet/supremecourt/rights/landmark_regents.html https://www.thirteen.org/wnet/supremecourt/rights/landmark_r... "The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision written by Justice Lewis Franklin Powell, ruled that a state may constitutionally consider race as a factor in its university admissions to promote educational diversity, but only if considered alongside other factors and on a case-by-case basis."
