If you think that's the case, you don't understand why people consider "tard" offensive.

****** is also a word censored by the forum ownership, while chud and turd aren't, and using a version of a censored word to avoid the censor is against site rules

Moron is just as offensive.

I've seen you use that quite a lot.

It could be argued that it is, and perhaps I should stop. But, it's just a historical thing about words being offensive or not and "moron" being used in any kind of clinical sense is really really really outdated and not just a little outdated and I think it's changed. I don't think people associate "moron" with the clinical diagnosis the way they do with "******ed". But, also, I never claimed to be offended myself about any language, just that I understood it.

How did you imagine "chud" was just as offensive though?

It doesn't really bother me what people call me either tbh. It's just the hypocrisy that irks me.

The libchuds have banlust. Live with it.

My original point was that libtard was a way more used term than MAGAtard and I still stand by that. The further discussion seems pointless.

I did a little research into the terms and it seems like idiot was the predecessor to the r-word and idiot lost favor in the late 19th century because it became a derogatory term. Fast forward 100 years and the r-word lost favor for the same reason.

I used to love to use the r-word, not so much as to describe a person but to describe something that made no sense. I've since all but eliminated it from my vocabulary since it's derogatory to people with ID. However, I don't get offended when other people use it, nor would I ever call someone out for using it.

No more of this crap, let's bitch about the mods. That coordi sure is a ...?

I think maga-tard is worse than lib-tard because in the first case they are actually low IQ (so they are being insulted for a personal characteristic they can't change) while in the latter they are mostly just evil.

I do agree lib-tard was used a ton more than maga-tard

Just when you thought we had plumbed the depths of possible insults along comes Luciom to really put the boot in.

Not only are we called t...s but we actually are re.....d.

Thanks Luciom.

well I am not the person who suggests to use that word.

i am saying it is worse to use it because it's far closer to the truth , and insulting people for their immutable characteristics imho is something we should avoid.

Gee thanks buddy. With friends like you who needs enemies.

Hey look at you now, thinking Luciom had friends.

BJ is so woke, they got him I think.

For all of Luciom's faults, and there are pages and pages of those, he at least recognizes what BJ and PB are. I have to give him that.

Who asked for your opinion dip ****?

Nobody, but I gave it anyway, didn't I df? Stay tuned.

liberals will always side with the most fascist example 1394343

I'm not sure I agree with this. Luciom is a doctrinal far right extremist. Guys like BJ are just Trump daddies. They don't really believe in anything except what their God-emperor tells them.

Both terrible, of course, but in different ways.

if "far right" encompasses both Milei and Putin the expression is meaningless

Says the guy who thinks Nixon was a Marxist.

Basically, what I mean is that there are a lot of people who would not be opposed to having massive numbers of people shot.

You are a Putin fan? Great.

I view Luciom as the guy who wants to open a heroin stand at the farmers market because its his right to engage in free trade and demands to see where it says in the rules which substances are allowed to be sold by farmers at markets

Sure. At that level, I agree.

no jfc, I am a Milei fan but the "far right" label gets used from everything from Milei to Putin
