Damn, I think we have a new record for impotent angry lib! A full 8 hours of an internet tough guy being racist, ableist and homophobic while insisting that they're not any of those things because they feel like they aren't those things, despite ample evidence to the contrary from their comments.
Been a while since I've seen a classic internet tough guy, surprised they're not challenging people to fights in parking lots. Based on how glued to this thread they've been for 8 hours, I would guess it's because standing up out of their chair leaves them winded.
This phenomenon fascinates me. As far as I have managed to understand it, it is because while a marxist will identify the use of perjorative language that attempts to brand someone else as homosexual, disabled, etc. in order to denigrate them as inherently reactionary due to how it implies that all of those things are negative, a liberal will not consider such an act to be homophobic, ableist, sexist and so on as long as you do not maintain that behaviour with most people of said group. In their mind, being ok with most people of the LGBT community makes you not homophobic despite frequently using the word "c-cksucker" against men they don't like, being ok with most women makes them not sexist despite calling women they don't like "b-tches", and so on.
In short, "it's ok as long as i don't say it into their faces", which is perfectly consistent with ideological cornerstone of liberalism being hypocrisy.
its more like "its ok as long as its "deserved""
Exactly. In their eyes, the instant a person opposes liberal interests, anything and everything against them, including tools of systemic oppression such as homophobia, racism and sexism, is fair game, and that won't make you a reactionary unless you use those only against "deserving" people.
