(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

    Bashing?

    Analogy - black people tell me not to use the n word, am I at a disadvantage for saying “black” instead of a slur? Would be a little odd to ignore feedback when it makes no difference to me… I ain’t married to “n***er” (censored it painlessly)

    I’m irreverent as FUCK by the way ^ 10, quick make a dead baby joke (srsly I don’t give a shit about ouchie topics, I do try to be aight to folks tho)

      Yeah no i don’t use the n word, and definitely don’t think the two compare to each other. I don’t see no trans people slaving for generation, being kept in low income areas and incarcerated left and right. And honestly, i think less of you for comparing the two.

      Tranny is just… A shorter, more familiar version of the same word you want me to use.

      Faggot doesnt refer to gays anymore, it refers to pussies. People too afraid to stand up to their fascist governments.

      And retarded people refer to people who think reclaiming the word “retard” is a great social victory.

      I am tired of censoring myself, when everyone is well aware what i mean, and all the different minorities i know in my life, know me as a guy who would always defend them if they had a problem.

          Nah, but fighting so hard for something that you forget to… checks notes have basic human rights like healthcare and free education, is ridiculous.

          You went so hard on one issue, that you drive half your population to vote for Nazis. Job well done, right?

            Certainly made me mad enough to reply all over this thread. This is the kind of conversation that’s really useful, that we’re having now, I think!

            So as soon as DC criminals are sentenced for insider trading, illegal deportations, and so on, rewarding ourselves with using words that distract our allies could be a nice treat!

            Nobody likes sitting princess, hands in their lap, waiting and waiting for years… but if it earns us a few more minutes of discussion on healthcare, without distraction, I like that trade-off :)

            Thanks for coming back & chatting

              I also think these are important discussions to have. When i think of American leftists, i think of sensitive guys who get offended on other peoples behalf.

              When i think of European leftists, i think of punkers down to 14 years old throwing sidewalk stones at police. Americans need to step up.
