Disagree, calling the homeless the unhoused came from the libs, it’s a right wing concept. We are fighting a culture war with the right and we mustn’t give them an inch.

I think as a whole we should try to make language gender neutral. But I can think of better hills to die on. Like most people are conscious of referring to women as female, even women. As we become more aware of it then I think things will start to change.

Here’s my two cents. It’s hard for people to keep up with the euphemism treadmill. There was a time when the word “female” didn’t have the negative connotation that it does now mostly thanks to co-opting by incels. It should also be stated that the word “male” doesn’t have the same negative connotations and it’s similar to how there’s slurs for black people but none for white people.

So why do people find “female” offensive? Well for starters it’s dehumanizing. Women is a less academic term and female implies some biological essentialism. I think the crux as to why it’s a big deal now is that women do not refer to themselves as females in the manner that men do. Men do not think of themselves as males, they do not call other men males, men call themselves men. male and female are simply outdated terms.

I suspect one day as society moves towards a more genderqueer position men and women will become unacceptable to say too. Idk. Like I think we need to acknowledge that there is such thing as a euphemism treadmill, that languages change, words become offensive or nonoffensive over time, and like all we can do in order to be a fucking decent human bean is to conform to society’s standards as to what is acceptable as according to the treadmill. Unless it’s some shit like calling the homeless, the unhoused. Then in those specific instances we got to run against the treadmill. But in this specific instance, we need to run with the treadmill on this one. Nothing feels better than conforming with society.

Can we make it so we can post in other instances but other instances cant post on hexbear? Our presence on the fediverse is valuable, we have unironically improved other instances by dunking on their user bases. I think long term hexbear moderators should try to preform a coup on the other moderation teams of the other websites, and if they are following any of the teachings of Lenin should slowly guide the other instances into the light of communism by acting sort of as a vanguard. I’m sorry that you are being forced to educated the lemmy chuds, that is emotional labor and you haven’t been compensated for it. It shouldn’t be our job to educate. But defederation is a bad take, we need some growth, we aren’t advocating for the internet equivalent of antinatalism.

I never used Reddit, I never listened to the podcast. I came here from a discord server lol. I’m basically without original sin here. I’m the perfect leftist.

White suppremacist has long used the letter k to spell out word’s beginning with the letter c, ku klux klan is a prime example of this. Meanwhile x is currently being used by South Africa’s biggest boy to hurt trans kids. His obsession with the letter x should give us a reason to get rid of it. Its sounds are made by z already.

That’s it. Fuck English.

Chud is synonymous with troglodyte.

In a government with like red cops, yeah. I’m not fundamentally opposed to the use of force, in fact I think we should use it very liberally against people who aren’t communist.

Sure that would happen, but I still think it would be worth it despite the false positives. I dont know how many chuds getting their rights violated is worth an innocent person having theirs be as well. Maybe 100?

There’s absolutely no way this guy gets taught about in history classes 100 years from now. Maybe it’s the liberal idea of an end of history talking but Trotsky was a much more influential figure than pigfuck. The special operation in ukraine, entirely insignificant in the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t even the largest war in Russia during the 21st century, that would be the Chechen war.

Like as Americans we are constantly exposed to information about this war but there’s other conflicts in the world that are arguably more important. The only reason the news pays attention to it is because it’s white people. Honestly if I ever saw a Ukrainian refugee I would show them combat footage clips of dead Ukrainian soldiers and say “is this your brother?” The Ukrainian identity doesn’t exist, it was created as a reaction towards the collapse of the ussr and their language is a dialect of Russian. Like I don’t support Putin either, he’s not a communist, but like fuck I hate Ukraine a lot more than I hate Russia. Russia I basically mildly dislike for abandoning communism, ukraine is literally ran by nazis.

Boss Baby Putin

Think of the children who are unable to rip fat clouds in the bathroom with a regular vape pen because it would get confiscated, we need to make nicotine and other substances available in every learning establishment for children in the world!
