Honesty Reclassified As 'Tier-Two Microaggression,' Pending Tier-One Review

Citizens are encouraged to soften, vagueify, or simply not answer.

By Linguistic Hygiene Bureau

Honesty, particularly the unsolicited kind, has been formally categorized as a Tier-Two microaggression, with elevation to Tier-One pending further review.

Citizens are advised to soften factual statements by appending 'in some interpretations,' 'arguably,' or 'I sense rather than know.'

Total avoidance of declarative speech is also acceptable. Officials note that nodding gently while looking at a houseplant has become the recommended replacement for most assertions.

This article is satire. All quoted people, panels, studies, and spokespersons are fictional. Resemblance to real events or individuals is incidental and parodic.
