Or… we shouldn’t have a pass/fail on people being able to live happily on earth. We have more than enough for everyone to live.
Like yeah, individuals should look for ways to improve their scenarios since often the system isn’t willing to help, but it shouldn’t be the first solution for others to look for.

… yes, she was a real monster. However, using sexism as a weapon against her would still be using sexism as a weapon against her. Do you see how it being a reference to Thatcher doesn’t really change my point?

Ah yes, Thatcher. Famously not a woman and famously not the subject of any kind of sexism /s

The Doctor has intimate knowledge on the inner workings of time and, through a small action, can cause monumental change by knocking over a single domino. Yeah, I got that. Just so happened the domino was sexism and it’s power on culture. Isn’t that neat!

Synonyms, true synonyms. No real difference between them (except don’t use inflammable in safety situations, for above reasons)

Yeah, everyone knows that ceramic has more thermal reactivity than air, so the plate will slide right off ###### /s

And by implication pointed out the difficulty in finding one. Unless you literally made a statement about just the types of images they chose with no further intellectual depth, which I mean is possible (I do that shit all the time), it comes with the assumed next statement about there not being violent atheists, or at least there are less violent atheists. So I was talking to that point.
That being said, I’m autistic so I might just missing the point, but I figured that my statement should still be made in case others thought like I did initially. There have been atrocities committed by atheists and there are violent atheists.

CCP and USSR stamped out religious practice, but go off.
As an Atheist myself, don’t delude yourself into thinking religion is unique in its capacity for horrors. Humans have that capacity, any group we make would also have that capacity.

I don’t disagree, but I don’t see how you can do that. Well, I kind of do, that’s by “taking the word back”, poisoning the meaning of the word or its association so that hateful people won’t want to be associated with it. I know it’s definitely not shaming people for calling out that it’s a dog whistle. Because, again, that puts the moral failing on the person calling it out rather than the people who gave it the negative association to begin with.
That quickly becomes “ugh, these fucking SJWs policing everyone’s speech” instead of “ugh, these fucking losers ruining perfectly good words with their hatred”, which it should be.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 5 weeks ago:
Never assumed this person was a bigot. The point being made is that “female” is now a dog whistle word for the alt-right. Dog whistles by themselves aren’t proof that someone is a bigot, but they are still words associated with bigotry.
You can’t control what words become dog-whistles (Jean-Paul Sartre quote “But they(anti-semites) are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words”) but you can acknowledge that they ARE dog whistles without it being some moral failing to point it out.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 5 weeks ago:
Who said anything about getting them to change? Getting mad at people because the word changed instead of getting mad at the people who changed the word is my point. There’s a reason why that word was targeted as a dog whistle, but it is still a dog whistle now and acknowledging that it is isn’t some moral wrong.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 5 weeks ago:
“Hey, bigots say this and it makes people sound like bigots when they say it”
“I used that word correctly and was told that it made me sound like a bigot. Maybe think about that?”
Cool, maybe get mad at the bigots who ruined the word for people rather than the people saying the word was ruined by bigots.
It’s like when people get mad at the r-slur being a slur now. Like, no, it was always intended as an insult based on medical language. It was always going to become a slur.
Now people are using the word female to both alienate and other women in their language and to “sound smarter” when showing bigotry. Also, you were probably told to not say it because they knew you were better than the assholes who say it in a demeaning way. Maybe… think about that?

You’ve no idea why those voters didn’t vote. Disenfranchisement has been turned to 11
- Comment on Controversial question 2 months ago:
Cool definition. Still not a majority.
- Comment on Controversial question 2 months ago:
Define words however you want, that doesn’t make it true. A majority is 50%+1. Anything less is a plurality. More people voted for someone other than Trump than those who voted for him.
Beside the point, the original claim was a majority of Americans, and that isn’t even close to a majority anyways. Even with your funny definitions.
- Comment on Controversial question 2 months ago:
49.9% isn’t a majority. It’s a plurality.
- Comment on Controversial question 2 months ago:
Not even a majority of voters, let alone a majority of Americans. Just about 30% of adults in the US voted for trump. We still outnumber them.
