#Congress tries to break fever of #incivility amid string of #vulgar, #toxic exchanges

I think MAGA and AR15 lapel pins prove that incivs* have a problem. *Involuntarily civilized

#MAGA #INCIVS #incivility

@smoke Thanks for this. The use of the phrase #academicfreedom to protect the long-present corridors of domination within the academy is distressing. It is also rhetorically hard to counter for those who have not lived in these halls. We need more books and essays and book reviews for this part of the struggle. #incivility #resistance

Also from the above book, this quote simplifies a lot of annoyances and frustrations:

"Both the #smarm-meister and the bullshitter have a goal in mind that ignores the issue at hand--the smarm-meister pretends to take offense at the tone or #incivility of his accuser, while the bullshitter just waves his hand and spews words indiscriminately to achieve the effect he's after. (...) Frankfurt puts it this way, "The essence of #bullshit is not that it is false, but that it is phony." "

#sincerity

In many walks of life, #rudeness is on the rise.
Anger and toxicity are hallmarks of social media. Research shows that rude behavior #spreads like a virus, not only through people who experience it but also through those who witness it, and recent polls suggest most Americans believe #incivility has risen to crisis levels. It’s a problem in the workplace, where 3 out of 5 employees report they experience rudeness at least once a week.
