I have a new word that I’d like people on Docudharma to consider. Ok, it’s not really a new word. Still, it’s a word I’d like people to think about using.
The word is “accommodationist”.
You see, I was thinking about creating a new diary to raise a new point, and I was thinking about making certain, well, there is no other way to put it than accusations.
And I have been thinking also about the discourse we use, putting our complaints as it were in one basket.
For example, we use the terms that have been given to us to describe certain things. One of those words is “centrist”. “Centrist” is indeed a dirty word based on all that purported centrism has accomplished for this country in the last 30 years.
Centrism has brought us a military industrial complex out of control, a massive uncontrollable debt, untold misery and lies for the people who can afford it least, people kicked out of their homes, their jobs shipped overseas, “free” trade enacted that is anything but, environmental damage in the name of jobs, our manufacturing base destroyed, the illusory “service” economy, bubbles, false euphoria, greed, misery, the “ownership society”, and outright economic, political and moral failure.
