• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Awooo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  we’re looking at a word that means the exact same thing as a number of other words nobody cares to censor.

  So why not use them instead? Why insist on this one word when there are enough to choose from?

  And is this really the case? I’m not a native speaker but I consume a lot of English media, including old books, and never have I encountered it as anything other than a derogatory term to mentally disabled people. And let me remind you that you made this convention about censorship, I didn’t. I just wrote a short comment, ready to move on, you bombarded me with paragraphs of comments. I’m just feeding the troll at this point and maybe I shouldn’t.

  So you are much more part of the mechanism that divides people which is a poor argument in my opinion anyway. It’s often used to silence people who fight for marginalized groups and “divide the working class”. I’m not saying that you used it that way, but neither am I part of a witch hunt for suggesting not to use that word.

  And what is all the talk about “monied campaigns”? Who has the monetary interest to cancel this word? I really don’t get this point.

  i’ve been censored as ableist for saying idiot, moron and stupid

  Not by me. Words change meaning (both connotation and denotation) over time and right now, the R word in relation to humans is considered a no no. This might change, the word might change its connotation again or might disappear completely and another word takes its place, who knows. This isn’t about what words could mean or used to mean or mean in very different contexts but what they mean here and now.

  But maybe the problem about the meme is that it makes fun of “very not intelligent” people, as you put it. Maybe it’s not cool to portray them in such a way, with such a face. As you said, things come across differently within different people groups and there are many people on the internet so maybe be a little more cautious there.

  This is so stupid, why wouldn’t you post that meme?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Awooo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe don’t use the R word?

  People will point out that it makes more sense to punch up than to punch down but the later is significantly easier and better paid.

  How so? Right now, mammals “rule” the world and dinosaurs weren’t a much more united entity than mammals are today

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The only way to be⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And any possible pseudo government has to compete on the free market with all other possible pseudo governments, just like feudal lords used to compete with each other. You have to trust in the invisible hand that this is, in fact, a good thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life is unfair to landlords⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s all about terminology. I like the concept of usofruct where your right to own something is bound to either use it directly or collect its fruits (in a literal or figurative sense). So a landlord wouldn’t own a house but the people living there would. This has it’s roots in Roman law where ownership had three aspects: usus, fructus and abusus (misuse, destroy, …)
