but if that’s too offensive for some folks I guess I can just keep using “fuckmouth”, if that’s easier on the ears.

fuck mouth might be too insensitive for those of us who have or don't have sex, so basically all of humanity actually.

if someone is stupid, and making objectively stupid decisions, it would be fair to call them "developmentally challenged" especially if that person is donald trump, and the stupid decision is tariffs.

Would it also be fair to call him a retard? Yes.

should you? Probably not, would it be justified, yes.

It's only really fucked up if you're using it belittle and demean someone, though there are also situations where this is deserved. Morals and ethics aren't really a solid ground to stand on, more so a floating mass of garbage in the ocean, that just sort of, showed up one day.

In other words, the entire reason we say “developmentally disabled” (or whatever the nom du jour is), is because people like you insist on associating developmental disabilities with bad things.

who is saying that an intellectual disability is a bad thing? You're the one arguing it's a problematic discussion. A lot of people are intellectually challenged, is that also rude? Or is that one fine, is it ok to say uneducated, or is that questioning the socioeconomic status of a person, and therefore, also rude.

Just because something is defined in a rather terse/blunt way, doesn't necessitate it being a negative thing, that was the problem with "retard" and "retardation" being used, it turned into an insult, and as a result, fell out of favor, because it fucked up the medical definition, which is now "intellectually disabled/disability"

Sometimes weird deformities happen, sometimes people get physically disabled, or are physically disabled, sometimes people are cognitively, or developmentally disabled, both are fair depending on the context, because neurology is fucking weird. I mean we call certain things "disfigurements" because it's not normal. If they sound bad it's because you've negatively associated these words to concepts that bother you.

true, fuck short people, i hate short people.

~~this is satire, obviously, i'm doing a funny~~

you can do the exact thing you want to do, without having to police specific word usage, it's misdirected focus, that's the problem.

is retard classified as hate speech under the US federal government?

… and if you say we should be kind to these ilk of humanity… I ask you; where does the line for self defense begin? When someone would gladly stab you in the back, it is distinctly not time to extend them the honor of actual humanity.

i can't think of a single description that would fit these people, other than the definition of retarded. It's literally a perfect fit.

China has a 90% rate of home ownership https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_in_China

china also recommends you invest like, the majority of all of your wealth into housing, which is a currently crashing market right now. So that's for better or for worse.

anyway, these are all liberal based ideologies. I have nothing against any of them, except maybe nationalizing banking, but i'm not strictly against it, i just don't know what that entails.

and yes, it can be done, with or without them, but we already have the structure of a liberal democracy, and the experience and knowledge required to make it work. I don't know why so many lefties are hell bent and destroying it all in favor of a more unstable governance structure. Especially one that doesn't seem to exist.

Maybe it's all just yapping, and nobody believes anything they say, but that seems like a silly argument on it's face imo.

lmao good meme, sounds like a mess ngl.
