out that college-educated white americans develop a language of social justice that non-college-educated white americans don't have access to there's an ax many manual workers and blue-collar workers don't have the time to specialize on every single issue which is why many people characterize low-income white americans as ignorant i mean look at how much time it's taken me to research for this video alone how much time i've spent researching all of ben's claims and fully educating myself just to make this review i did weeks worth of two to three hour long twitch streams just to script this video while i pulled up every source and looked into each one and saw where the truth was if i didn't have the ability to work from home this wouldn't be possible for me as it's not possible as it's not possible for a guy working a NUMBER_TOKEN-hour shift in a factory in ohio and just to be clear this isn't to say that people without college education should be exempt from caring about social justice issues it's just to say that ben is correct that the language has developed as a separate dialect among highly educated people language evolves based on geographic location and based on closeness to others in your circle you can't have a conversation outside of your echo chamber if you don't speak the same language if we look at this from an educational point of view we would call this concept scaffolding according to grand canyon university scaffolding is a method in which teachers offer a particular kind of support to students as they learn and develop a new concept or skill basically you have to build on existing knowledge of a certain topic before you can teach about the complexities and nuances of that topic you can't teach calculus to someone who hasn't learned to count yet this is important when i talk to an elderly straight man about lgbtq issues if this is someone who doesn't even understand how or why two women might want to marry each other i'm not gonna immediately go into breaking down the nuances of the discourse about bisexual versus pansexual identities and dialogues that's not a language that that person would speak yet not necessarily because they desire ignorance but because they like most of us have spent their lives in a particular community and particular echo chamber and i agree with ben on this point as a whole and i think it's super important and it's actually the reason that i'm giving this book two stars instead of one based on amazon's current review stats i'm gonna be the first two-star review unfortunately while ben is correct about this point he doesn't always practice it effectively himself evidenced on page NUMBER_TOKEN of this book on page NUMBER_TOKEN where his definition of liberals versus leftists resides that's not the definition that most people on the left would actually use he's creating a conservative dialect that differs from a left-leaning dialect and therefore making discussion between these two groups impossible without a miscommunication on page NUMBER_TOKEN he says the democratic party leadership has shifted from liberal to left this wouldn't be true according to a leftist point of view if you're speaking leftists actual language most hard leftists consider the democratic party in the u.s to be neo-liberalism many left-leaning
