Comment on Sent this to my friends flexing a "top 65%" score. The site didn't make it clear that's not a good thing.

I agree with your stance on the other comment (really appreciate you taking the time to write the post), however since this one in particular is a direct quote from a movie I think its grey enough to let slide.

What’s up with the word making a comeback tho? Rise of fascism in general and all the sludge it raises?

The word is making a comeback because people are fucking retarded.

Maybe people are just realizing that magic words don’t actually exist. There are infinite ways to be an asshole in the world without ever uttering a forbidden phrase.

I censor when I quote from Blazing Saddles, but I’m not attempting to say you’re making an incorrect decision - we all decide what we’re okay with, and… dammit, I can’t write this to sufficiently indicate I’m not judging (while disagreeing mildly), but I’m not. lol.

fascism

That’s my theory. The bigots have come back out of their closet and are taking pride and joy in being bigots. “I can say what I like and you little snowflakes can deal with it!” (until we say something they find offensive)

I suppose it’s the least of our worries considering all the other harm that’s been done and is being done, but it^[The racism/bigotry in general] certainly contributes.
