I’m still curious if you’ll be calling people “niggers” when the tide turns? You need to explain why you wouldn’t accept a fait accompli on that, yet you will on “racist”?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Why would I? 'Nigger' isn't really a word whose definition is being scrutinized, or is likely to meaningfully change in my lifetime. My feelings on the rules of civil discourse aren't likely to change either.
HM just typed the N-word.
With the hard 'r'.
But he won't use "racism" in an unapproved context.
Pretzel logic.

Any word I use is only meaningful in the context of what it communicates. I am arguing that what the word 'racist' means has already changed, and that it is a waste of time to reify the older definition.
I don't see what that has to do with word 'nigger,' which is why I asked for Hash to clarify the question.
HAIL!
Her needs America so they won't just take his shit away like in some pussy non gun totting countries can happen.

Oh, it’s up to you?! I guess I’m not surprised by your myopia. Is it okay if I have subjective feelings about the meaning of words?

It isn't up to me. That is why I don't understand your point.

It's a shame, society could've used your guitar and intellect to fight on the side of rationality, and not on the side of "Fuck it, I'll use their words because by the time it matters the repercussions will only hit my grandchildren".
Really don't understand your reasoning, man.

I am going to try to put this one more way:
I think most of us would agree with the interpretation that 'woke, anti-racism' is a type of religious belief. For the woke, calling someone a racist is basically like calling them a heretic.
What do I care if someone from a religion that I am not a part of calls me a heretic? They are right. I am a heretic by whatever definition they provide, it just doesn't matter to me.
I think this is too abstract to work in day to day life.
I have had to work many months to pay for school. But now, in order to leapfrog into a higher job, I have to play this SJW game. Most teachers now ask what pronouns you want etc. This garbage is also in HR departments across the board. It is totalitarian shit. You could be a dissenter or "heretic" in the Soviet Union or in Kampuchea, but there are real world consequences for that lol. And these folks are not like Jehovah's witnesses where you can simply not answer your door. They are federally subsidized. I guess you'd have the moral high ground in the gulag, and could write a great book after you survived it in theory idk. We are not at that stage yet, but fucking with words is on page one of every Totalitarian handbook.
