How can you be oppressed by nonsense terms?....They don't mean anything, up to a few years ago those phrases didn't exist.
They were invented by right wing commentators to demean, ridicule and reduce the impact of what was being said in defence of any socioeconomic political progressive argument.
'Virtue signalling' can anybody tell me why being a good person and being seen to do good things or champion good things is wrong?..
'Political correctness'.. law and order, Justice.. what could be wrong with that? We brits love rules and regulations when did they become taboo? 'Snowflakes' ? What's that? It may have a definition now because the inventor managed to get the use of it global due to its viral appeal of being a generic insult to mostly young left leaning people who take an interest in social issues.

The traditional labour heartlands have been targeted by and bombarded with these negative labels. They mean nothing and I for one don't expect the use of these derogatory terms to survive one the conservatives have lost the next election.
It is on their best interest to keep the pressure on to subdue progressive groups and individuals by any means necessary.
