    “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!
