Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
I understand your reasoning but I can't subacribe it.
A word is a word. A word becomes an insult if it is used against someone, with that specific intent.
I specifically used the quotation marks because I wanted to convey the understanding that I was putting the words out with no connection to anything.
Writing on a social media outlet feels more and more like walking through a trap field. Cryptic acronyms, forbidden and self censored words and redacted sentences.
This is the worst kind of censorship I can think of. It blocks the person and others from fully expressing ideas and thoughts and preassigns a default judgement towards who is trying to convey an argument.
The best way to void a word - especially if an insult - is to ignore it. Don't use it, ignore it in others speech, attack the use of it as an insult.
Self censoring is not a good thing.
Honestly I wanted to be edgy but been trained that I'll get auto moderated if I just type it out.
Also people really do be thinking you are racist if you type out a word (or recite a song lyric) from a different point of view.
In other words, it's a no win scenario.
