What's your most controversial utterance over the airwaves whose critics you disagree with, and what's the one you come closest to thinking "maybe it was quite faulty of me" (even if you stand by it)? (lemmy.ml)

My most controversial discourse* can be roughly phrased as "screw intentions", "your intentions don't matter", "go pave Hell with your «intenshuns»". It isn't a single utterance*; I say stuff like this all the time, and regardless of the utterance used to convey said discourse, people will still disagree with it.

The one that I'm sometimes at fault is "people who assume are pieces of shit and deserve to be treated as such". Because sometimes it is reasonable to assume (to take something as true even if you don't know it for sure); just nowhere as much as people do.

*I'm being specific with terminology because it's a big deal for me. "Discourse" is what you say, regardless of the specific words; "utterance" is a specific chain of language usage (be it voiced, gestured, written, etc.)
