[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same thing, different name.  Virtue signaling with language - indicates one is in the “in-group”.  [/quote]

+1.  Using terms like "unhoused" indicates that the speaker/ writer is aware of changes in the common vocabulary that have occurred in the last 30 minutes, but that we are all expected to be thoroughly versed on. Also a great tool to be used for judging others.[/quote]

I love your answer. It's all about superiority over those less in the know.[/quote]

Thank you. It's not only less in the know, it's posed superiority over those who refuse to go along with the left's "new vocabulary" on many topics.[/quote]

Funny that the only superiority and judgment here is coming from the people who dislike the term unhoused.

I hear both and tend to use homeless (because it's how I hear the homeless families I work with identify themselves), and I've never once gotten pushback for it (and again, I work with homeless families professionally)[/quote]

Any reason to pose as a victim, but never a reason to look a little deeper at how language can shape a call to action. [/quote]

Ohhhhh.... so now you're actually admitting it! Language is no longer used simply to communicate; it's now a purpose to "shape a call to action." Whose action? Who decides what the action is?

There you have it, folks. The left's thinking on perfect display.[/quote]

Well, the folks who changed global warming to climate change, and estate tax to death tax, also intended to change people's actions at the ballot box. And they sure weren't lefties.  (climate change, the idea was, is less scary than global warming)[/quote]

It’s 100% the left that came up with "climate change" once "global warming" was proven to be false. That way if anything happens (cooling or warming) they can be "right’[/quote]

99.9% of scientists disagree with you that global warming is false. The evidence is now beyond dispute. Climate change and more extreme weather resulting in major storms, floods and fires is now a reality.[/quote]

Lol, notice you switch from "global warming" to "climate change " in your answer. Climate change has always, and will always happen. The ‘sky is falling" people going on about how hot it will be in X years changed the words when that didn’t happen. [/quote]
