Once again
I am asking for my friends
Once again
I miss you
When this all ends
And I intend to go to Taco Bell
I hope you'll join me
Once again

Society didn't kill the God specifically, but the concept of worshipping any diety whatsoever. People worship ideas now.

Hmm

I was gonna say that the old gods are way better than the new gods but in all honesty, all false gods are bad. Still, the new gods are pretty darn awful.

@realcaseyrollins Because complicity in death is a really powerful cudgel with which one can bludgeon another on the television.

@realcaseyrollins We went from the morning-after pill to the morning-before pill.

@realcaseyrollins Alternate interpretation; we used to fight about whether one group were killing babies or not; now we’re arguing about whether one group is killing grandma or not.

@icedquinn @shebang I've literally ever seen a black person get mad because you called them black. I've seen a lot of white liberals get mad tho.
@icedquinn @shebang well, "blacks" is kinda dehumanizing. just like "whites" would be. wouldn't say it's racist tho

@mewmew @icedquinn I never say the n-word because it’s very specific, and very harmful. Bitch is used universally, yes, and it’s also really not as negative and harmful. Really the n-word feels like nearly class of its own in most ways, it feels hateful where bitch is just rude.

I could say it, I’m the Queen of my own free speech server, after all. But I don’t because it’s rarely a productive thing to say, and I’m just not interested in using language that’s outright hateful. The k-word for Jewish people is another example of words that are hateful that I won’t use.

Now, the word isn’t always hateful, but it never is in good taste and doesn’t promote the kind of discourse that I prefer to take part in.

I’m of the opinion that when black people “took the word back” all they really did was perpetuate it back into common usage, and this was in error. It should have been left to rot as an anachronism.
