Being more concerned with the words used than the intended meaning is an internetism that harms us all. I'm guilty of this too..

It's tricky though, because words have meaning- and that meaning really depends on context. Not just the context in which it's spoken, but also the context is the one speaking it. And often people online who think they're arguing are really just misunderstanding each other's definitions.

And if they are, they can look it up. Learning new words is a good thing.

Yep, it's pure evil. Every guard involved is morally culpable for the rapes they cause

Holy fuck

Also reduces aggressiveness towards guards

I used to frequent 9gag when it was mostly ragecomics, countryballs etc. (and also quite some time after that), but nowadays its just xenophobia, racism and incels.

Yeah but the US did it at a scale an order of magnitude greater. We have more prisoners than most of the world combined.

absolutely. the extractive capitalist imperial project found safe haven in our governments hall's (more arguably, founded and defined our government since the origins of the US are an alliance of Virginia's purely capitalist project and Massachusetts' purely theocratic project)

wait you think east india wasnt about profit and had no sexual abuse?

the British got fucked militarily and aztec society collapsed

we’re on schedule for either end atm

the us isnt gonna stop doing any of this before them either

rich abusive fucks wont stop because you protest peacefully or virtue signal on the interwebs

You're absolutely right. In this instance I mistakenly thought it was obvious for most that I did not mean im the strict literal definition. Oh well, no big deal

Is your avatar Jay Leno?

Oh wow you're right. I hadn't been there for a while.. jeeze..

Internet outrage is utter dogshit trash

Knowing the truth is important. So is staying strong enough to fight. Part of staying strong enough to fight is tending to your emotional well-being.

Please take breaks when you need. Friendship and sunsets and butterflies still exist. Use them as often as you can🫂

I can't imagine seeing the word coagulate and having it stand out as "intellectual". I thought you did an excellent job of explaining a complex subject that is usually riddled with actual "five dollar words", in a digestible way.

It's very thoughtful of you to keep responding to the angry folks dragging their clubs on the ground. Thank you for the labor. Good luck in your battles.

The USA, not the rest of America

Correct, v-coding is rape.

Wow, I knew the USA structurally empowers people to engage in great cruelty, but I hadn't imagined this in particular. It's probably recency bias but this feels like a new low.

It's Flabber from the show BeetleBorgs, but also yes they definitely designed the character to look like Jay Leno
