Because everywhere I look, it’s just the same insane lies and mental gymnastics regurgitated straight from r/politics, with all the same refusal to even acknowledge the slightest of errors in anything they believe

    So you believe that people killing themselves at your insistence is a good thing? And you expect people to take you seriously with that point of view?

    Not being polite, and telling people to kill themselves are 2 completely different things.

    I mean, words change meaning all the time due to people misusing the word. For instance, literally. Linguists have had to create 2 separate definitions for the word because so many people were using it in a figurative sense. Stupid is another word that has changed definitions over time. That doesn’t make people who use those terms liars, maybe more or less misinformed on the definition, or history of the word.

      Yes. I believe that society would be better off without these people. If you don’t want to believe me, that’s on you.

      Sure. And if meanings change, we have to acknowledge the usage of the new meaning because trying to map the connotation of the old meaning to the definition of the new one. If bigot is just a generic insult progressives throw at everyone they disagree with, fine. But anyone engaging in honest discussion must also acknowledge that difference as well, and not then try to bring in the connotation of what being a bigot implies using the original meaning.
