      The official used the same logic and wording that is seen in the news the last decades ( centuries). It’s strange to hear because it’s not usually used like that.

      But most Americans are immersed in such comparisons and language, designed to rob the target’s own agency, meant to dehumanize.

      It’s rage inducing here because the usage is out of context.

      Going off script? Most schools review your speech and hold you to it under threat of not conferring your diploma.

        Not just the school, but the whole town. Mr. Bigsby would fit right in.
