Well, that meme was what prompted this spate of "human/civil rights" responses. I know I'm not the only one who reacted that way.
It wasn't just this wave of reactions to the meme i'm responding to, though it was what prompted me to write. (To be honest i wasn't even going to mention the meme, because that's another way of propagating a meme and i didn't deem this one propagation-worthy.) But i've seen friends say these things for years. It seemed like an appropriate time to speak up.
Not going to put a label on myself just because someone else demands it.
I agree. I'm a bit disenchanted with identity politics.
