by us (not in canada, but your shittier southern neighbour), it’s all beer cans.
like, bad enough you’re driving while chugging a tallboy of natty ice, but you gotta throw it in our yard on your way by, too?
i shouldn’t be surprised that the venn diagram is a circle, but for some reason i always am.
and just like any other excuse, aren’t we beholden to call it out for the benefit of all?
instead, like capitalism, we seem to shrug and say “that’s just how humans are lol” while we go back to killing each other over money or made up stories from 2000 years ago.
just like in therapy/recovery/etc, don’t we have to acknowledge(and i mean actually reflect on) the problem (organised religion, in this case) before anything gets better?
it’s true.
i don’t have cancer, so maybe those who do should stop complaining.
i had forgotten all about Alloy and…was it Lara Croft?…and people “correcting” their appearances, good point!
i’m pretty sure the subtext of “woke” is “there are women and non-white people here”
same with “dei,” i suppose - all goes back to not liking women and poc 🙃
my read was that by putting “banning” in quotes, there was a subtext to the comment.
no one is “banning” words - the milieu is that we don’t use certain words for certain (in this case obvious and terrible) reasons.
by pushing the focus to the “banning” and not the obvious dog whistle, this comment seems to be shifting the convo away from people being racist shits to a discussion on language.
hence this entire comment chain.
i just want people to get the takeaway that jesus fuck people are racist, not “liberals can’t ban words, see?”
think you might have grabbed a slightly tilted takeaway from this…
i like how nukes and war is 5-7 and then alllllll the way down they’re like, “oh also no water damage and no normal wear and tear.”
really depends on what “dissenting views” means to you, though, doesn’t it?
i’m guessing it’s because the link was posted with no context, no opinion, no nothing.
perhaps if op explains what the link goes to and why it’s a good thing, people might click it and actually engage?
i didn’t downvote, but i do understand the sentiment!
