Craig, a reader of this blog, brought up an excellent point in a comment on yesterday's
post. He was complimenting another commenter for an imaginative phrase, and in the process managed to unearth gold.
"the powers that shouldn't be" is brilliant. It needs to go viral! (BTW, is it still acceptable for things to go viral, or is that terribly insensitive?)I am of the opinion that the ultra-PC nonsense we have all had to endure is waning and will occupy a much smaller part of "public discourse" (I hate that term, really do) than it has in the past two or three decades. Nonetheless, I imagine many leftist types do currently find the term
go viral a wee bit insensitive and "problematic."
On the bright side, the anticipated campaign against
go viral might end up being the swansong for SJW types the world over.
Note added: Kudos to SF for his "powers that shouldn't be" phrase as well.
