One thing the left is very good at is using words as window dressing. They're very practiced at it.
You've heard them do this on multiple occasions. They say "common sense gun reform" instead of "gun control." They say "fight for the poor" when what they really mean is "pay for the poor." In fact, you can replace the word "fight" in many instances of leftist speech with "pay," and their meaning will really fall into place.
One word I hate when it comes out of a leftist mouth is "courage." It's one of the most abused words on the left because it's used to make what is obviously an agenda-fulfilling action seem noble. It makes the people who sign on feel like they're doing something brave by doing so. Like they're pioneers helping blaze a path to a better world.
But when you start to dig, even a little bit, you start to realize that the word "courage" isn't courage at all, at least not when the left uses it. It means something entirely different.
Let me highlight an instance of abuse.
As Robby Starbuck posted to X, Netflix VP of Inclusion Strategy, Verna Myers, had a puffy video made about her position where she said we, as a society, need a "courageous period," and as she says this, the video plays footage of BLM protests, transgender signage, and then mixed that with footage of cultural displays and people of different skin tones.
The important message within that moment was obviously the heavily politicalized part of it with the BLM/transgender visuals, then roped in races and cultural displays to make the argument against it seem racist. It's a dirty trick the left likes to pull, but sadly, it's effective to the uninformed.
Myers goes on to say they're looking to enact "cultural change" as more footage plays of people of different races doing things, then right smack in the middle of it, they feature two shirtless men in a bed kissing.
Netflix made this video about their corporate culture. The video has @Netflix denouncing neutrality on divisive issues and promoting transgenderism, BLM and more so they can "transform" culture. Netflix is a social engineering company, not an entertainment company. pic.twitter.com/cOYqdRsNu5

If you had the stomach to watch it, notice that the video didn't feature Christian-related imagery. Nothing that features people out in the country farming, hunting, or using firearms. The only scene with two white people interacting was the kissing gay couple.
For something that was supposed to be "inclusive," they sure lacked a lot of representation for things that fall outside what the left considers approvable.
Wouldn't it have been "courageous" to feature those things under the knowledge that it would make leftists angry? If Netflix were pushing inclusion, wouldn't real courage mean trying to get acceptance for things that others might not be willing to accept?
Funny how the acceptance only seems to go one way, and in extreme instances, such as gay sex and transgenderism. Funny how Netflix's idea of "courage" seems to be pushing gender politics and confusion on children, as we've seen very recently.

It's because what the left calls "courage" isn't courage. It's antagonism, namely, antagonism toward the right, especially the Christian right.
It's the act of defiance toward Western and Judeo-Christian ideals dressed as bravery, because they know it will be rejected by the right, and they want to paint themselves as standing against puritanism and closed-mindedness.
It's trying to make ideological extremism look noble when, in reality, it's just ignorant, hate-driven politics. The proof that they know what they're doing is evidenced in the fact that they throw in shots of people of different races just hanging out, so they can dress any attempt at pushback as blind bigotry.
There's no courage involved here. It's just scratching their own hateful itch.
Luckily, I think many people are finally catching onto this. This DEI-based thinking was always based on bigotry and giving people more and others less based on their identity. It's being rejected at the C-suite level of many a corporation.
But Netflix is still Netflix, and as you've seen, it's still pushing things on us, including our children. Maybe it's time to send them a very expensive message.
