Comment on What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently?

  Language evolves with every generation, yes. But I offered something different from that.

  I offered that the relationship between word and thing was becoming more tenuous. Like two telephones drawing further apart. The conversation breaking up.

  We talk less about reality now. We talk more about talking.

    And how is calling conservatives “weird” how you describe?

    Compared to conservatives calling anything left of them “communist”, calling a party backing a felon president and a vice president that can’t even make small talk at a doughnut store “weird” is very fitting.

      Ugh. Too emotional. Too rhetorical.
