So interesting you should use that phrase. I use it every now and then - addressed to those on the right who are so careless of the social injustices inflicted on the majority of the world's population.

The bottom line is that politeness is often used by those in power as a tool. We are suppoed to be polite to them, to 'control' ourselves, etc, and not to speak back because that's 'cheeky' or 'impertient.'

I break those rules. I will be as rude and direct as I think the situation warrants. And I will definitely tell a Karen "Fuck your feelings.'
