If someone thinks “I have leftist ideals but I can’t say retard and people online hurt my feelings over it. I’m voting MAGA,” then they don’t have leftist ideals.
As far as I know, policing specific word usage has never been a large focus. It’s a side conversation. People are able to have side conversations without losing focus.
i think the biggest problem is that it’s a less effective use of time, you could spend that time on something more productive, like building a better community, or improving support for marginalized groups, but no we’re hear yelling about joe rogan being stupid instead.
At the end of the day, i just don’t think it’s very productive.
Says the person vehemently going through this thread defending the use of the word retard for the past thirty minutes. Why don’t you lead by example, then?

Then you’re talking out of your ass and you should stop telling us what is and isn’t a waste of time
