    Given the number of times the, er, woke side of things gets blamed for terminology, I think it communicates the sentiment perfectly. When we try using very specific terms like white privilege or toxic masculinity , a great many people obtusely (intentionally in many cases I think) find those terms confusing or assume they mean something different than they do.

    You hear “no one is illegal on stolen land” and you know exactly what they are trying to say. Anything more complicated would be too long or end up trying to be specific in a way that would confuse things, IMO.

      I agree with your point about the other terms, but in this case saying something like “immigration shouldn’t have restrictions” is clearer and still concise.
