    Glad we could agree even if you are coming from a point of bad faith now. I get it. You are wrong and want to try to make yourself right instead just admitting your comment was a hot take at best and a disingenuous lie at worst.

    You say calling it a slur was not lie, but it was. It misrepresented reality and as so meets the definition. I also suspect you knew this hence why a lie is appropriate. I suppose you could claim ignorance, but I think that would be disingenuous at this point.

    The way it was used was simply not a slur. Context matters and as I pointed out it was not a disparaging comment used to belittle a group. It was simply a personal insult. You might find it distasteful and I may even agree it can be in the correct context. It simplt wasn’t in this situation though.

    I apologize if you feel I have not conceded to any of your points. Most of what you say is not wrong, just the original comment was.

    So you admit that slurs are not always slurs and that context matters. This context was missing for you to call it a slur to begin with. There was no mentally delayed person being called a retard. Glad we can agree your original comment was half-baked.

    What are you left with again? Oh yes a lie about a slur and a false usage of punching down. Stop bloviating, this is the beginning and end of it.

    Black people don’t view as a slur, they took it back like the Chicanos did. The major difference is they didn’t fully take it back so it is both a source of unity and disrespect. That is on them for trying to take back a word they don’t want others to use.

    We collectively as a society stopped using retardation as a medical diagnosis. The rest of what you say is nonsense.

    Glad you can admit the punching down was nonsense.

    Speaking of spirals, I just said it was a dumb take because you forgot context and added in some bullshit about punching down. This is objectively true so I am not sure why you need to keep going on and on.

    So calling someone a common racial epithet always a slur? Ignoring context is stupid because it is willfully ignorance. Clearly context matters.

    Furthermore who defines it as as a slur. I know someone who is mentally delayed that throws around the retard word all the time. Are you offended for them?

    Also retardation has fallen out of favor for medical diagnosis. It has not fallen out of favor for a general insult, no matter how badly you want it to. Once again, ignoring context.

    Lastly punching down refers to social ridicule from a high standing group to a low standing group. This did not happen. You are clearly wrong to say it did.

    So yeah you are acting stupid and you continue to double down on the stupidity like it is a badge of honor.

    I read your argument, it was stupid. I thought it was important to point out.

    Why was it stupid? First of all it is only a slur to someone who is mentally delayed. It wasn’t being used in that context and it is clearly not punching down. It is an argument an idiot would make. Cheers!






  • I am so sick of the open borders boogeyman I have turned into a radical open borders maniac. I will become the stupid strawman that they have erected!

    Open the borders in all of America now motherfuckers. Stop restricting the flow of people. It is a human rights violation to fuckup their countries and then force the people to stay there. Literally the only way to solve this is with open fucking borders.

    Anything less than this is an admission that we are the oppressors for all of America.
