"Loaded terminology" like, "facts".

Yeah I didn't mean loaded here negatively, I just meant imbued with meaning. Bury the lead and these people can agree with some very leftist shit because the things they're actually mad about are legit: they're mad that they're working more for less value, their community is suffering while elites feed off the fat of the land, and that everyone they know is one medical situation away from falling into complete financial ruin. The problem is that they're unfortunately stupid and not just stupid, but a specific kind of stupid that entire corporate thinktank charlatans have devoted their career to knowing how to deceive and manipulate into thinking stupid as shit conclusions like it's the poor brown fieldworker who is somehow making them poor. It sucks and it makes me sad because these people are legitimately being preyed on but at the same time through this process they come out the other side as absolute monsters, and we don't get anywhere abiding monsters... I dunno man. I know we all know this shit already and i'm preaching to the choir, it's just depressing. Fuck.
