I've been interacting with them recently to see what they are all about and lmao I don't think I've ever had a dumber discussion in my life. Truly they are uniquely stupid.

"Opposing military conscription is stupid" and other hot takes from westerners that have never had to fight a war at home.

How is it stupid to oppose Zelenskyy's suicidal conscription polices? It makes Russia's mobilisation/conscription look pacifist by comparison.

If you pop into that users history, you'll see that the interacting they're talking about is whining at me for a couple of days because I called them a racist.

[-] Murvel@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Not really. You just use the word 'racist' as a general insult to people who disagree with you. I don't really take it as an offense since it means nothing in that context, but using the word 'racist' ignoring its actual meaning is problematic.

How do you not understand how using a racial slur to insult someone is racist?

[-] Murvel@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Because mongrel is not a racial slur. You made it a racial slur. I could argue that the word Bastard is a racial slur by the same logic. And given enough time and effort, you would believe it if all you see is race.

There is a history of mongrel being used as a racial slur, you chose to ignore the evidence of that I showed you so you could pretend to be a victim.

All you need to know is that it was not used with a racist intent. The word itself was not even used in a context where it could be interpreted as racist. I mean, can you even answer which group of people the word was racist against based on your interpretation?
