There’s a clear campaign against the mentally ill with the global rise of fascism. Lots of it shows up in anti homeless rhetoric, but you can see it in the MAHA and anti vaccination movements.
There’s no reason to use the word “r-tarded” to describe someone. As someone who’s worked with the intellectually challenged, it’s an insult to them to compare them with people who are willfully ignorant.
Thank you for calling me out on that, I apologize and will try to avoid such language in the future.
In the span of one conversation, you’ve gone from defending the use of slurs to correcting my language - why, there may be hope for you yet, comrade.
Comrade is a slur where I’m from. We give out seeds for comrades, so they can become a nice field of 🌻
Your language is as garbage as anyone’s, sit the fuck down and try not to pretend to be holy with your american-flavoured “leftism”
Why, if I didn’t know better, I’d say that your callout from before was opportunistic and made in bad faith so that you could keep defending your use of slurs. But no, surely that’s not true, is it, comrade?
Whatever helps you sleep at night, tankie
Interesting how “comrade” is a slur where you come from, but “tankie” isn’t 🤔
I never claimed to be “holy” or better than anyone. In fact, I’m quite imperfect, even when I try my best, I still mess up sometimes.
That’s why I rely on my community of comrades - like you - to call me out and help me identify my shortcomings and call me out when I’m using exclusionary language.
Genuinely, whatever your intentions were, I’m grateful for you calling me out and helping to push me left. “What force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one? But the union makes us strong!”
Why are you still masturbating here? This is some weird patting yourself on the back shit.
Your shortcomings isn’t your language. It’s your fucked up worldview and your garbage beliefs.
You’re focusing on the wrong thing, it’s the epitome of performative leftism to attempt to mask your rotten attraction for authoritarianism.
To piss you off, mostly.
The troll reveals itself to everyone.
Pretty rich to call me a troll, after, “comrade is a slur where I come from, tankie.”
I’m just confused, since you called out my language for not being inclusive enough, surely you want me to admit to my wrongdoing on the matter. But somehow, owning up to my mistakes is, “patting myself on the back.”
As Sarte said about the Nazis:
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
Since that’s how you behave, I might as well play along, as long as it’s amusing. But, speaking seriously, all your talking points are just bad faith far-right bullshit.
