I suspect this isn't what it actually is supposed to be, but I saw a whole thing about removing "violent" terms from your vocabulary that were 90% innocuous turns of phrase and I immediately dismissed it.

Just because you say it in really nice words doesn't make your ideas harmless, and just because you are vulgar or even threatening (or just using normal ass idioms) doesn't make your ideas harmful or "violent"

Definitely an eye opener when i heard about it and realized that a lot of the weird toxic positivity white people in my circles were doing prescriptivist cult shit.

The part about not assigning blame helps a lot of people get out of the trap of tallying favors and grievances. That said, he sells his books by pyramid scheme, dresses it up in pseudoscience and is needlessly dogmatic.
