  • It’s not about not labeling bad people a certain way, it’s about not using what has become a slur to describe them at the expense of those who have been labeled that for real medical reasons. And who have been labeled that because they are different.

    You sound really fucking stupid right now, and I have explained why. If you can’t bear to change for the better, you may as well be one of the idiots on the right. I’m not convinced you aren’t, actually. As the other guy stated, you have an entire dictionary of words you could use that aren’t at the expense of others, but your small mind can’t even find one that isn’t the bad one. You are the problem here.


  • Progressivism is about making progress. Being better/doing better when given the opportunity to do so. You seem to not understand that.

    Just. Do. Better. That’s all anyone is asking. You are using the same illogical tactics that the right uses to defend a word that is no longer used as it has been co-opted by people that use it in a harmful way. We move on, choose more inclusive language, and that helps people. Especially when others don’t have to figure out the context of the word to decide if you are being descriptive or just an asshole. Right now, you are being an asshole…and looking at the votes it looks like others agree.


  • Why continue? You are the one that can’t figure out new words and terms. Do you have a learning disability? (For reference, this is what is most commonly accepted terminology these days. For anyone with a physical disability or from a disease process, “person with” followed by the disability or illness is what is used eg: person with Mamothmothman disease.)

    Hope this helps, but it sounds like it won’t.





  • Lynching in the US is broadly seen as an extrajudicial killing by way of hanging. Historically, that’s what it is most of the time.

    You are wrong in saying that we must fight by “being creative, educating, reasoning and having the moral high-ground” because these fucks lack the ability to reason. The state of things is that it is a cult, a disease within our system and must be fought with tools they understand. Punching a nazi is not even remotely the same as a lynching, and is more akin to defense of the community.

    I believe your inability to tell the difference between a nazi and historical victims of lynchings is a problem. We shouldn’t even have nazis anymore. Your line of thinking that being creative is gonna solve things is the same kind that the anti-vax idiots that have brought back eradicated illnesses have. The vaccine for nazis is violence, not horse dewormer or moral high ground.






  • “they can choose not to do that. it’s not as though they literally re-order every product the moment they sell a unit.”

    No shit. Most stock systems just remove that item from current inventory, and when it gets too low it triggers a reorder request.

    Corporations do not abide by ethics. They do not care about anything but increasing profits. So not buying certain things causes stock to sit, and in this case expire. That hurts their bottom line, and so it is more likely to trigger change in the form of them no longer stocking said item to sell. Are you really this dense?
