Using Words As Weapons and Shields

A WISE PERSON whose identity my failing short term memory prevents me from remembering indicated that the term "snowflake" has become a term and a means by which people justify and even glorify their own lack of compassion and empathy, while seeming strong, and deriving pleasure from their own self perceived toughness and individual reliance and desire that others share their thick skin. Upon reflection, I concluded that each time I have encountered the term "snowflake", either in print, on screen, or via mouth, it has issued forth not from a bleeding heart liberal, who is by definition a snowflake, but from a far right wing red MAGA hatted Trumper. You are thinking: "how surprising". A snowflake, according to my limited analytical capacity, would be a person who becomes emotional at the slightest perceived insult, or the slightest affront to one's sensitivities, and takes offense at words like "queer", "immigrant criminal free loader", or "lib hypocrite" (someone who believes in climate change but drives a car). A snowflake, to wit, is a sensitive person, emotionally. When one, while attending a Trump campaign rally, events which have inexplicably continued throughout his presidency and thus seem redundant, screams "shoot the asylum seekers", one is avoiding being a snowflake either because one glorifies in a lack of emotional response to human suffering, human suffering precipitated entirely by the human sufferer itself, or because one lives one's life in a perpetually sub freezing personal bubble, able to wax emotional while impervious to the emotional state of others, without melting. Is a snowflake nothing other than the outward behavioral manifestation of political correctness? Political correctness is the invention of Mao Tse Tung's little red book, transformed by nineteen sixties California lib types mocking themselves, according to which one must be respectful rather than disdainful of queers, coons, degos, sex changers, and all other non white non male non conservative types who tend to vote for Democrats, and is actually nothing other than a requirement imposed upon the crass that they either treat everyone respectfully, and stop calling people "broads", "babes", and "libtards", and start addressing people as "Yo, homie", or ma'am, or sir, or walk. Political correctness is nothing other than common courtesy, sometimes taken to the extreme by the extremely sensitive, to avoid melting. The right to be rude and disrespectful, guaranteed by the first amendment, shall not be infringed by snowflakes or political correcters, and any perceived threat to the right to be repugnant shall be met with.....anger....MAGAtry, and derisive responses, which, if one did not know better, could be construed as conservative snowflake-ish sensitivity, the only caveat being that as of this printing, no such characteristic has yet been identified within the entirely diagrammed human genome. But that don't mean that conservative snowflake-ish sensitivity don't exist. It merely means that in order to assert its existence, it is only necessary to disavow the findings of modern science, which is no trick to the evolution, climate change, science denying far right religiously trumped up wing.
