My grandfather fought in D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, went on to liberate a concentration camp, and then was tasked by the army for photographing the camps in order to support war crimes tribunals and convict Nazis, so I asked her what were the chances my grandfather photographed evidence of her grandfather's war crimes when I tell you she fled from me when she would see me in the hallways after that

Every once in a while I think about a fellow teacher in a Bronx public school who invoked her family living through the Holocaust in Germany to center herself and lend legitmacy to whatever idiocy she was spouting and then one day ALSO insisted she was a POC because a parent was born in Argentina and I had to, in a full staff meeting, be like, hold on, so your family CAUSED the Holocaust, not survived it, your grandparents were Nazis fleeing prosecution, and I wonder if she's still teaching

politics, "civility" 

As a bit of context for those who are unfamiliar: "civility" is a tool of oppression. It doesn't consider whether any harm is done at all, only whether the (pretty much arbitrary) requirements of decorum and appearances are met.

In other words: it explicitly permits any harmful behaviour as long as it appears superficially polite and 'professional' enough. As long as it's plausibly deniable enough.

And it punishes those who speak out loudly or emotionally about being harmed, because that doesn't meet the standards of decorum.

It's a favourite staple of conservatives, as well as naive "reach across the aisle" centrists.

And when someone's view on moderation is all about "civility", also a pretty damn reliable signal that they *cannot* be trusted to protect vulnerable and marginalized folks.
