i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

What a gibbering buffoon that man is.

(Knocking on Jennings, not you)
I never watch that tRump network anymore. It devolved into a yam tits love fest too many times, with everyone talking over one another!
The problem with magas is they're either that or comes in guns blazing. There's no in between. 😔
Yea I've never seen police fire hose protestors or use chemical restraints on them.
Ass whoopings build character
If someone decides not to accept academic or emotional instruction and guidance, then they opt for physical instruction and guidance.
Meaning, people have heard and seen the way to be.
Repeatedly. On TV, in movies, in books. They know.
It's on them.
I’d always ask “who is stopping you? …and just how often are you using it in conversation that this is a problem for you?”
But nah
Sergey brim, multi billionaire and CIA front, wants you to care deeply about meaningless shit online cuz caring about their atrocities is bad for business
/s
I think we also need to teach our side to also just toughen up and not jump to language policing.
Anyone can post two arbitrary markers wherever they want and say it measures something. Maybe that measurement is actually relevant or provides any useful information. Or maybe not.
"Like the good old days."
...while they committed hate crime and domestic terroism, with or under the protection of "law" enforcement with no consequences.
Actions have consequences.
this right here is the thing, and was the real crux of the "cancel culture" tirade from conservatives - it's not the fear of actually being silenced for their opinions, it's anger at being criticized for them. they want to say whatever they want free from reproach & criticism

That sounds a lot more like tyranny than saying edgy shit online and inviting people to say it about you.
Private Facebook pages where cancelled for questioning the covid narrative.
The government litterly had Alex Berisan kicked off Twitter for putting out correct covid information.
Private messages about the hunger Biden laptop were block!
What a stupid post!
Think about the words you use and mean what you say and accept that sometimes people won't like it.
"I like to take risks with my work."
Not if you want to be insulated from consequences, you don't! You aren't actually edgy if you want guardrails to stop you from falling on your face. Trying to keep anyone from booing or walking out is playing it safe
The Gervais manoeuvre.
You won’t be arrested. There are only social consequences.
They expect a mindless clapping audience to all their worst thoughts
You CAN say whatever you want, as long as you accept what happens after you say it
In my estimation, unless you've been knocked around some you're not qualified to have a strong opinion on much of anything.
Welcome to adulthood
America frequently changes the descriptor of problems in hopes of changing the problem. It never works.
I got attacked for using the term whitewash to describe whitewashing. WTF?
Conservatives hate this.They don't WANNA. They are children. This is the problem.
Its as if they're....🤔 cowards.....
Totally fine with that.
Free from responsibility?
How hard would you like your kick in the nuts on a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is a languid slippered kick and 10 is a good long run up and a severe boot in the 'nads with divers boots.
Fuckin dork-assed loser. Money and gastric bypass surgery can’t make you cool.
Bullies use rules to push people around. Which is why I stress that they are actually guidelines.
So internet nitpicker (IN) tells me what I said was bigoted towards low-income people. You know, because here in America in the 21st century, "low class" has the EXACT SAME MEANING that it had in 19th century Dickensian England.
So, I told IN to GTFO with that. That it was one of the
So yes, annoying. Did it make me vote for Donald Trump just because someone
No, because that would make me even dumber than IN.
People need to grow the hell up and realize there's a HUGE difference between an irritant and an actual issue that makes a material difference in their lives.
Only the right has 'free speech'
Disputes are inevitable and at times beneficial.
But these folks are attempting to make you look less than to make themselves feel better.
Maybe that’s the problem with social media?
Most folks know if you say some stuff face to face, it may not end well for them.
Not surprised but satisfied to learn that years flew by and still no one ever lost a job, a raise or anything of value for failing to use “politically correct speech”
Some ugly* people did not get the dates they felt entitled to though
*on the inside, ugly is real
but there was no incident I was able to find in which anyone actually lost anything due to saying plausible cruel things about vulnerable people
Less meaningful consequences for online actions.
Thought crime lol lol lol
No one with clout gives a fuck what I or my colleagues say. They insist on coercion to police language they dislike.
Musk is the textbook example of a language cop.
Money trumps credentials in this field. But I persist, because the alternative is unacceptable.
There are no ironic Nazi salutes
In 2025. They are all sincere.’
Tsk tsk. People like you always have to misrepresent people and put words in their mouth to win arguments. Very sad
It might come to this since the hand gesture folly.
Is the term subskeeting in use?
To them, almost no excuses are accepted for mistakes; including time, place, or circumstances.
Does that make sense?
I asked because my explanations may not be clear to others.
Yes, I agree with what you're saying.
Language police, for example, has been used to describe the Office Québécoise de la Langue Française (OQLF).
They are responsible for enforcing the Charter of the French language/Loi 101 & preserving French in Québec...even to the point of derision (e.g., Pastagate).
To accept that is an atrociously low standard.
Stay in school kids, it affects your lifelong income level.
Unchecked trolling gets out of hand quickly! Punching extremely rude people in the face was one of the few effective ways to put a stop to it
Before that, the words were MORON and IDIOT.
Labels hurt.
