good luck saying anything at all without being called woke or nazi. current political discourse is garbage. i want to see a world where whatever party is in control actually cares about the future of the country, and it's not some dumbass football game where the weakest economic demographic always loses

I'm old enough to remember when "being politically correct" was a euphemism for "not being a racist misogynist" because people still thought racism and misogyny were bad

the intention of "political correctness" was to launder christofascism bigotry to be fed to idiot liberals

bill maher didn't get up and talk about how he hates women and minorities, he wouldn't have been able to sell that to an audience.

using "politically correct" instead of "being a good person" or "not being an rear end in a top hat" allows people to proudly proclaim that they're evil rear end in a top hat monsters

the phrase itself in the US initially was an attack from social democrats on the communist party in the 1920s to say that communists were dogmatic that didn't care about individual moral/compassionate results. it's always been used as a phrase to punch left and has always been used by people to say that they are politically incorrect.

now it's my turn to not know what point you're making. i never said bill maher declared hatred of women and minorities. that last sentence of yours makes no sense at all to me. using "politically correct" allows you to proclaim you're an evil rear end in a top hat monster?

yeah, phrases like "politically correct" or "woke" are thought terminating cliches that allow you to label and dismiss the beliefs/behaviors of other people without performing any kind of introspection

when your kids tell you that you'll never be allowed to see yoru grandkids again because you're a racist misogynistic homophobic transphobe who refuses to lock up your loaded guns in a safe, you can tell your friends at the diner that they have the woke mind virus without ever having to dwell on the fact that the final time your children visited you, your daughter found a loaded handgun in a kitchen drawer that her three year old was almost tall enough to open

i dont trust chemicals, man, its like, you dont know what theyre going to do to you. i just feel like im better off with the monkey death chip

i mean, hey, palliative treatments for arthritis can and do address pain response, not the inflammatory response that causes it

on the other hand chemicals are a much better understood and reasonable means of achieving this at present, on account of the brain literally running on chemicals. the synthetic ones have their faults, but we've had centuries of figuring out to tune them, compared to, idk, 3 years of trying to figure out how to get a blunt instrument implant to the point of not killing every monkey it goes in
