There's this still-widespread thing where people think active supremacy is about saying mean things, so if you just don't say mean things, everything is fine. The whole notion that the taxonomy and categories and axioms might be the problem just goes whoosh, not so much over their head as gaining altitude and accelerating to orbital velocities.
