    This is a non sequitur and a false dillema. And it’s also not helpful for communication.

    I can say fuck ICE, and people know what I’m talking about (generally anyway).

    If I say fuck Nazis it’s generic. Am I saying fuck members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party? Am I saying saying fuck fascists? Am I saying fuck authoritarians? Am I saying fuck the geriatric Cheeto reality tv celebrity? Am I saying fuck all of the above?

    Having ways terms can allow one to say who we specifically wish were fucked allows more accurate and concise fuck based communication.




  • So I studied Human Rights in Uni, and one area of study is Columbus’ first contact in the Caribbean. And he was balls to wall evil. In his treatment of the First Nations he encountered. Monks travelling with him wrote about how evil this was and unsuccessfully appealed to the Vatican to condemn this behaviour.

    When people say ‘it way a different time and things were different then” I call it out as bunk.

    I don’t use self check out because every one is a horrid user experience.

    I always like to ask the fervently anti-self-checkout crowd around here whether or not they pump their own gas, and then why self pumping is okay, but self checkout is not okay. (Note, my community is hopelessly car dependent so most everyone around here drives).
