Another word I hate is “politicize.” People only ever use it as a defense from hearing anything they don’t completely agree with. It’s a childish way of hiding from the world which consists of closing one’s eyes and hoping that this would cancel any uncomfortable reality.
“Don’t politicize the election!”
“Why do you always have to politicize every discussion of the US Congress?”
Whenever anything at all happens in the world, one has to brace oneself for a chorus of nervous nellies and meek mikes to start chanting, “Don’t politicize!” And everybody is expected to cater to their childishness.
