People saying things like "we don't live in a state of anarchy, we live in a society" drive me up the wall. It's such a basic category error but also muddies the definition of both nouns

@levisan my pet peeve is the use of the word "community" when there is no unity, nor anything in common other than some arbitrary category of the mind, and the primary purpose is for some asshole to speak for other people.
"On behalf of the XYZ community..."
"Speaking as a member of the XYZ community..."
... and that's when I shot them/they, your honor.
@jezza As a member of the Autism Community (apparently) I fully agree!
