SYLLOGISM
If you used to work for Old Pen And A Phone, I guess it would be perfectly natural for you to have a soft spot for totalitarianism in all its manifestations.
First off, Ben Rhodes should be told that "Asian" is not synonymous with "Chinese." My Vietnamese and Korean neighbors are not Chinese. May be Ben Rhodes thinks they all look alike.
Second, the "risk" of conflict with China? Over 60,000 COVID-19 deaths in this country alone, and he thinks they're not already hurting us.
So I post on reddit a bit and today I received a message assessing my risk of being banned. I was the lowest risk category, but it gave me a list of words that was increasing my risk:
"The following phrases may be causing the user to have a higher risk score: dike [I was using it entirely in the sense of a water barrier], episcopalian, cucked, university of california"
Scott W. Yeah, because we wouldn't want to use a word that has had one meaning for millennia, but now has been hijacked only within the last couple of decades... because triggered. right?

Thought you might get a chuckle out of that
"Episcopalian" huh? May have to start regularly dropping in on those folks again. Lotsa potential there. Thanks.
Scott W.-- LOL
