3. It's hard

To craft a message so as to please everyone who reads it so people use shorthand.

For years in my anxious haste (in a hostage like situation) to be politically correct as someone with no sympathy for religion, conservatism etc, I would hasten to say “Not all cons/not all religious” and in placating the people who at most superficially sympathize, I was shafting the people likeliest to actually sympathize politically, while avoiding anyone I didn’t want harassed by the nuisances inflicted by these horrible societies that are getting built with maximum exploitation and obnoxiousness.

(Capcha: op Ukrainian flag/ valley-rogue’s is Kansas..lol)
