Our language, too.
I do not disagree, and it’s an intriguing idea - but I’d like to ask - can you provide one or more concrete modern examples?
Again, I’m not saying they don’t exist or that I disagree - I’d just like to hear a couple to get the ball rolling in my head to contemplate more, as none are coming to me off the top of my head (but I’m three quarters asleep and can barely see straight right now I’m so tired.)
“common sense” is transphobic for instance, or people describing inhumane and neoliberal policies as ‘common sense’, or immigration controls being ‘common sense’. Or humans being greedy by nature being “common sense”
Ah! Ok, I follow now. ty!
I was trying to think of things that people more like ‘us’ would take to be common sense, that we were actually just ‘educated’ into believing, when they actually serve other interests.
We’re basically talking about usurping of the term “common sense” here though. Yes, I do think I’ve seen examples of that before! And good to be on guard against for sure!
Pushing, when you oughta be shoving.
