@HappyNacho73@Just_SumBloke@belinduhpyne@MChandlerMather Why do you think I don’t have personal experiences? Everyone has had traumatic experiences, doesn’t change the fact that treating retard like the n word and the f slur diminishes the seriousness of those words
@Just_SumBloke@belinduhpyne@MChandlerMather I’m sorry to hear that but doesn’t really change that retard is no different historically than words like dumbass or idiot. Making fun of someone with a disability is what’s horrible, not a word. Getting upset about words like retard denigrates the seriousness of actual slurs
@ljdrummond24@MChandlerMather Campfires also contribute to climate change “in part,” but it’s a bit disingenuous to say talk about climate change and mention campfires and nothing else as contributing factors. You’re just painting a narrative via omission
@Lisaisalooseun1@anna_prole If you look up the history of the word retard you’ll find it is basically identical to dumbass. No history of oppression or dehumanisation like other racist or sexist slurs. Getting upset about it does nothing but denigrate the seriousness of actual slurs
@jackie_mcc33924@anna_prole@belinduhpyne@MChandlerMather@Greens@AlboMP Future funds don’t work that way. And the greens were the ones who just bullied labor into spending 2 billion on housing and are the only ones with long term solutions to housing in their policies like transit oriented development and mixed use zoning 🤷♂️
