white supremacist or white supremacy ...….just another slogan guaranteed to open up old wounds...… is it just laziness or convenience? A childish way of scoring points? Or legitimate ? well yes of course it can be legitimate but when is it so?
sorry this thread might need to be deleted. I hope not. I don't want it to be solely about the topic in the first post. I hear tired phrases every day and I wonder if they need to be questioned at least.
I'll think of this thread as being about words and phrases that should be banned, especially because of over- and mis-use. I'll offer 'speaking truth to power', which is only ever spoken by pretentious assholes. https://www.lssu.edu/banished-words-list/
"weaponised" You can weaponise almost anything these days. maybe they should try weaponizing: ice cream fairy floss chocolate cheese cake walt Disney movies teddy bears
hate speech this is often used by desperate radical lefties who need to control and tyrannise the rest of us through language
a fascist someone who believes authority should be transparent and direct. And not try to please everyone.
Is this a thread for cliches or a thread for someone who has a chip on their shoulder about Trump? Let's add Fake News, which in actual practice is used so carelessly it has no value.
It’s almost like the thread was an excuse for it I haven’t heard “paradigm shift” in a while, but there was a point that one was so overused as to be meaningless.
"we'll go high while they go low" we are better educated so dont have to use the f word even if our actual decency is minimal.
a liberal a word that has come to mean "slacker" for many. a guy whose favourite phrase is " it depends on the context"
