Progressivism is about making progress. Being better/doing better when given the opportunity to do so. You seem to not understand that.
Just. Do. Better. That’s all anyone is asking. You are using the same illogical tactics that the right uses to defend a word that is no longer used as it has been co-opted by people that use it in a harmful way. We move on, choose more inclusive language, and that helps people. Especially when others don’t have to figure out the context of the word to decide if you are being descriptive or just an asshole. Right now, you are being an asshole…and looking at the votes it looks like others agree.
So you think progress is made by not using a bad word to describe bad people? Gotcha. This is fucking rediculous that you expect me to adjust my language to protect the feelings of people who don't and wont care about my feelings.
It’s not about not labeling bad people a certain way, it’s about not using what has become a slur to describe them at the expense of those who have been labeled that for real medical reasons. And who have been labeled that because they are different.
You sound really fucking stupid right now, and I have explained why. If you can’t bear to change for the better, you may as well be one of the idiots on the right. I’m not convinced you aren’t, actually. As the other guy stated, you have an entire dictionary of words you could use that aren’t at the expense of others, but your small mind can’t even find one that isn’t the bad one. You are the problem here.
I refuse to be inclusive to someone who can’t be inclusive themselves. And this has nothing to do with the way anyone votes, so I am not sure how trying to educate you impacts how together we all are in voting away the fascism.
I’m not morally superior, either. I just have morals.
Your last sentence contradics itself.
Yeah, no.
You implied that i have none. Proving my point that you are inflicted with a false sense of moral superiority because you dont use a bad word.

You don’t have good morals. Go read this, learn, and acquire them. Or just spout off hate speech and get downvoted/deleted again.
Hate speech lol what?
You are a joke.
Go clown yourself. 🤡
So if we all stop using bad words then we can all come together and sing kumbya while sunshine and rainbows fall out of our asses and nobody says anything offensive and no feelings get hurt?
