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?

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

I mean, words change meaning all the time due to people misusing the word.

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.
