LOL!
1. the term " #Ubermensch" was coopted by the #Nazis, don't use it
2. Still today, the stereotypical #Nietzsche fan is a pathetic #rightWing " #alphaMale" turd shallowly servicing their male insecurities to *conform*
3. But the original idea: a self-mastering individual creating their own values
4. #AlysaLiu quit #figureSkating because it was toxic. Then she returned on her own terms, for her own joy, fuck the world
You don't have to like Nietzsche, it's a sly roast of #MAGA losers
they don't read anything. they don't even read the bible yet call themselves christian, then make a mockery of what jesus said
they're all morons going on vibes programmed like robots by fox news and social media trolls
Correct but it's a general term today, like "idiot"
the r word was originally crafted as a neutral term and now of course is vile ableism
If someone said "i can use the r word with neutral intent because history" you wouldn't buy that
Likewise the contemporary use of the word "moron" is independent of its history
We can't fixate on historical meanings (many words have this problem) in attempt to find malice where there is none. It's just etymologically interesting
@Kierkegaanks @obscurestar @stib
some people go out of their way to look for offense
there is enough genuinely malicious offense in the world as it is, why invent and contrive offense where none exists
an excellent write up on the vile history of the word "moron" says
"All three words (moron, imbecile, and idiot) now function as general insults"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/moron-idiot-imbecile-offensive-history
i don't understand why people can't understand etymology is etymology, and current use and meaning is the only standard
definition of moron:
see: trump
definition of idiot:
see: trump
definition of imbecile:
see: trump
@amiserabilist @Kierkegaanks @obscurestar @stib
don't forget the time north korea tried to insult trump in his first term
they used some sort of archaic korean-english translation mechanism
and wound up with an old outdated musty term
that turned out to be unintentional genius:
dotard
the entire english speaking world was like "what?"
then much lol
@stib @Kierkegaanks @obscurestar
but it's not an education on a meaning of a word, it's a diseducation on how word meanings shift. it's looking to create ableism, it isn't ableism. why do that? the simple common word usage does not carry the intent, and no one controls language. so why not hew to what the established contemporary meaning is rather than try to control the uncontrollable
@stib @Kierkegaanks @obscurestar
you the know the contemporary meaning is not the historical meaning
but you *choose* to ignore the contemporary meaning. you actively seek to substitute that. you desire to create ableist meaning that isn't there
it's baffling to me why you would do that
isn't life full of enough actual malice. why contrive malice where there is none
@stib @benroyce @obscurestar please stop flogging the dead horse
Or remove me from getting notifications.
"I do think that there is always benefit in trying to understand how people get to their points of view"
why?
are you trying reeducate MAGA?
what do we do with bigots and prideful ignorant on the fediverse?
we suspend them
is this ableist?
is our job to work with and deprogram MAGA morons in a loving and nurturing fashion?
no, we kick the pieces of shit off. as we should
we call them losers, morons, shitbags, fuckwits, asswipes, etc
what's the problem with that
@obscurestar @benroyce Zarathustra is easy to read, difficult to understand. Not for the simple minded.
Ayn Rand, for example, should never have read it.
