PhazonLink posted:what the hell is that guy even saying He's saying the word "praxis" has it's origins in like AAVE or some other sort of minority culture, like how "woke" originated among African Americans. The issue is he's completely wrong. It's Ancient Greek (Aristotle didn't invent the word, but he used it) and has been used for centuries by European philosophers. including Karl Marx. Probably just first heard it from a non-white socialist. I think a lot of the 60's Black socialists would talk about it.

Vib Rib posted:Yes, it is. They're implying "praxis" is how "practice" is pronounced in AAVE, thus the comparison of "axe/ask". the joke is that white woke scolds speak for people of color without always knowing what the hell they're talking about like everything hinges on the fact that he's a big idiot, that is the foundation of the joke. it's... satire

I mean yeah, if you like you can just keep letting dickheads get away with making racist jokes under the guise of “Haaaa no you’re not getting it! The joke is something completely different!” while they wink wink nudge nudge at their fellow dickheads over it but that seems like a pretty lovely way to go about things.

Dude you've lost the plot so hard by this point that you're getting mad about something completely different than what the account is mocking The whole premise of the account is that it mocks people who get so up their own rear end about lecturing others about their racism that they end up being accidentally racist themselves and then people take the account at face value and get mad about it. It's a troll. Joe Keskold. Joke Scold.

Here, I saw this smug poo poo today (shared by someone in their mid-30s???) now you have to, too: I'm surprised they didn't reach for this mythical "balancing of the checkbook" everybody of a certain age sees as the highest educational attainment imaginable. E: how much you want to bet they were fighting autocorrect to gloat about just how incurious they are about youth culture by misspelling tiktok?

loving lol at owning a watch in any capacity other than fancy bracelet. I have nothing against owning a fancy bracelet, but don't pretend it's a useful object unless you're like deep diving, and if you are wearing it when you aren't actually deep diving you're wearing it so people will ask you about it and you can mention that you go deep diving.
