Fancy Phrases

Blogging at PJMedia, Roger Kimball writes some memorable words about the efforts to limit free speech on campuses. He describes a major thrust of theses efforts:

One of the most conspicuous strategies to limit free speech on campuses in the United States these last few years has been via the weaponization of victimhood.

What’s interesting about this efflorescence of infantilization is how sinuously it colludes with the imperatives of political correctness to stamp down on free speech and, beyond that, on the very processes of adult thought.

Wow! Two memorable phrases in one article: "weaponization of victimhood" and "efflorescence of infantilization." Ya gotta love using the language at this level of sophistication. Way to go, Roger.
