Not once did I read in that lengthy piece that a single Islander has protested the term “cargo cult”, yet here we are… another person detached from the actual situation wanting to take back a word in the hope to not offend anybody.

It’s ironic that the author themselves is cargo culting taking back language as an apologetic virtue signal.

“Don't you see that the whole aim of cancel culture is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it”
