Basic storytelling. Generalities are boring, specificities are interesting
It is also worth noting that "universal" stories appeal to zero people, because no one lives a universal life. The more specific a story is, the more we relate to it even if we have a different life, because we recognize that the story feels real
Just fold the studio into Disney and kill it already. Make Toy Story sequels till the sun fucking burns out. Love how this shift conveniently happened when more woman/POC were really pushing to direct their own stories. Defining their experiences as not "universal" is saying the quiet part aloud.

“One dashingly calls them ‘glittering generalities’; another bluntly calls them ‘self evident lies‘; and still others insidiously argue they only apply to ’superior races.’”

The palpable relief of reading a syntactically awkward student paper nevertheless brimming with ideas they’re trying on after having to consume the stale cardboard generalities of a Chat GPT essay.

Great thing is he can speak in generalities about this subject and Trump thinks it’s a personal insult
NEW: The Pope is doubling down.
In Cameroon today:
“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

the american constitution does not deal in minutiae. it speaks in generalities with the aim of establishing a limited government of enumerated powers. it is an analytical mistake to treat textual ambiguities as license to ignore that intent or the stated intent of specific provisions. (3)

What's notable, I think, is that while the cis ally gives us vague generalities about solidarity the transphobe is making concrete proposals about how to do transphobia most effectively.
Slightly undermines your "transphobia not welcome here" messaging if one of the other co-founders was, at the same moment, tweeting transphobic talking points.

more substantively, he seems to only be able to think in concepts and generalities. who is “the left here?” can he specify? probably not!

Writing teacher advice for Democratic strategists: Your audience is NEVER everyone, and acting as though it is will lead to generalities that appeal on average but not in specific. You find your audience through specificities. Relying heavily on polls and consultants leads to tepid messaging.

Even when he criticizes Trump he doesn’t do basic shit like naming him. He speaks in generalities in a very useless way.

It's so strange to me how the absolutely core question at the heart of politics - "what kind of society do we want to live in?" - is so absent from discussion, either assumed settled or reduced to meaningless generalities.

Why I ask anyone who wishes to speak in generalities about Dearborn just not.
Right-wing X influencers have been posting Islamophobic content about Dearborn for many years. Themes of these posts include fearmongering about sharia law, complaints about Muslims marching peacefully in public, and whining about a photo of a hijab-wearing cop standing next to a vehicle.

Pod Save America: Do you think it's time to recognize a Palestinian state?
Pete Buttigieg: I think that that's a profound question that arouses a lot of the biggest problems that have happened with Israel's survival, Israel's right to survival, in the diplomatic scene.
