"Positionality" is the modern woke form of polylogism, the Marxian idea that different economic classes literally possess different "logic," or minds, such that the bourgeoisie literally could not think the same as the proletariat; they literally _could not have the same ideas_.

Wokal I highly recommend you you check out the Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises. His epistemological work on praxeology (the study of human action) is the perfect antidote for the horrors and nonsense wrought by the "dialectic."

Thanks, this is really helpful. One note: please re-read with an editor’s eye. There are missing or extra letters, “and” when you mean “an”, etc. It gets distracting.

You nailed it. I wrote about this in a similar vein a while back. It's sinister and somewhat creepy when you see how language is being changed all the time.
