  • What I mean is that the vast majority of people using that slang in modern times aren’t associating it in the way you’re implying. The words virtually have no meaning in those contexts other than, guys = general term for any person present / pussy = being a coward. I get the root of it being sexist, but changing decades of slang when it isn’t actually that insulting is how we annoyed everyone. Marc Maron’s Panicked special covers this topic pretty well, I feel.

    Idk, I’m not sure it’s really that deep in most modern vernacular. Out of all social issues, being critical of people using slang like this who don’t intentionally mean it to be gender exclusive or biased is a choice you can make. I just think there’s bigger issues facing women than “guys” and “pussy” slang.















  • I disagree. The bottom rung already states they’re no longer making excuses and even questioning it results in you being labeled a traitor. The step above the bottom is also when they stop making excuses, you’re just not outright labeled a traitor.

    Edit: phrasing.

    Also, I’d argue we’re even already at the bottom rung in many cases. Just look what happened with Mark Kelly reminding the military it is their legal duty to disobey unlawful orders.




  • I feel like crazy, because signs of his dementia have been clearly obvious for several years now. Why is anyone surprised by this nonsensical letter?

    He is not “running” the country, his cronies are. They let him pop off with stupid shit like this because his handlers have learned that if they don’t let him do shit like this while their machinations are carried out in the background, he turns on them and they get kicked out of his cult. So they loot and pillage the country while their cult leader goes off on his tangents and pursues his weird/ridiculous/frightening vendettas. M
