Nope. I do not see how words are force. Those that I vilify have been trained how to identify words they can use as escape hatches to justify to themselves why they should not have to listen and think. They assume they have the answers already, and anything that challenges that world view in the slightest they would silence and destroy.

I don't call for anyone to be silenced, attacked, etc. I call for civil discussion.

You can train a dog to bark on command, if they possessed the proper vocal chords you could likely train them to chant on command as well.

If they think words are force and they are being hurt so bad that they can use force on others then they are living in an imaginary nightmare of their own creations and they have not matured. Life is offensive. A bird can fly over you and drop feces on your head. Or as they say "Shit happens". This is why I say assume the best rather than assuming the worst. Instead of assuming someone was trying to offend or insult you try assuming that they were not. If there can be zero doubt then they will stand out but they will be rare.

The people I vilify seriously would benefit from owning hand mirrors, as most of their claims actually fit them and those they chant with more than those they chant at, and sometimes get physical with, and those they demand be banned and censored...

Yet most of these problems regardless of your ideology could be resolve simply by assuming the best, rather than the current trend to assume the worst.

If you are looking for something to be offended about you'll find it. People can be offended by anything. If you think things should be censored because they might offend someone then in truth there should be no communication or interaction of any kind among humans, because those that seek things to find offensive will not stop. They'll move on. It is a miserable life for them but they also make those they interact with miserable. Simply assume the best instead then most of that disappears in a puff of smoke like the fairy tale it is.

When you get down to it teaching people classes about micro-aggressions for example are truly classes designed to teach people to assume the worst and look for things to be offended about. Ill learned, bad habits.
