Show me your moral virtues first.
— Bob Dylan
Tell me, who was first responsible for virtue-signalling via pronouns? Because I'd like to murder him. Or her. Or them.
Want the perfect meeting icebreaker? "Everyone please tell us in four or five words what value you add."
Virtue-signalling via "inclusive" pronouns, I can assure, adds no value; in fact, it destroys value. My time's limited. Please don't waste it with pronouns, when you should be telling me how you justify your existence. I don't care that you might be "gender fluid." And I care less you're a hero of the "wokeing class." I just want to know why are you here?
Recall some grammar: personal pronouns substitute for a specific person or persons. The personal pronouns are: I, we, you, he, she, and they.
Simple.
Again, simple.
Virtue-signalling via pronouns—let's call them "PC pronouns"—screws with grammar—and your head.
Worse yet, it promotes what philosopher Martin Heidegger called the "dictatorship of the they" (Diktatur des Man).
When you refer to yourself as, say, "everybody" ("Everybody knows TikTock is stupid") you are surrendering your authentic self—your individuality—and submitting to an invisible authority, to the "dictatorship of the they."
According to Heidegger, indefinite personal pronouns secretly control the masses.
PC pronouns do, too.
I'm not just my genitals. And I'm not just he or she or they or X.
I'm Bob. The name is Bob. Bob James.
Who the hell are you?
