Motte user argues how "being nice" by using people's preferred pronouns actually breaks your brain (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMotte/comments/l4ii8x/-/gkzukm8)

Me: *accidentally burps*

Someone: are you going to say excuse me? kinda rude not to

Me: how dare you try to force me to accept your epistemology that I need to apologize for things I did accidentally, truly this is a Tyranny upon my Liberal Freedoms

(Alternate sneer: Look at these extremely offended dorks.)

They simply cannot bear to live in a world where someone doesn’t immediately know they’re transphobic

That is unfair, this is about forced speech, where if we go along with the forced speech we are forced to treat people, who we secretly dont want to exist (but we are not allowed to say that out loud), like actual human beings. /s It is all so fucking transparant. Esp as the same thing was done for every minority group (and women!) In the past (and still now). I keep being reminded of the sixth meditation on superweapons (iirc it was the sixth)
>fucking transparant *Clear*. The word is and has always been "clear". Stop trying to push your deviant trans orthography onto everyone.
So much for the tolerant sneerclub!

A satnav: Continue for 200 meters, and take a right at the next intersection.

This person: This is part of a general trend that I might call “the endemic ontology of intersectionality continues to railroad me to the right”

God, how I wish I could force my epistemology on everyone in the world. Utopian society by 2025, no side bet.

Also, unless you think trans people created the concept of mind (jury’s out on that one), why the hell are you complaining about ontology?

Big word sound good mean something similar me think

you are mean and childish

posts temper tantrum rant

That’s a lot of words for the standard right-libertarian position of “I’m an asshole and I’m sick of being told that that’s a bad thing.”

Requesting them refrain from it around you as an appeal to politeness? Sure! no problem […] Censoring them from using it in public discourse? Getting them fired over it? No. that’s not acceptable in a liberal society.

Broke: Liberalism is basically libertarianism, where each person is free to associate however they want

BESPOKE: Liberalism is when businesses are forced, by law, to retain people engaging in reactionary and transphobic behavior

Liberalism is when companies are forced to abide bigoted clients but can “voluntarily associate” with minorities
Liberalism is when you cant harm someone, and with someone i mean myself and the people exactly like me but nobody else because it's not like transphobia/misogyny/racism/etc is harmful, *i* have never been hurt by it??

How do they all write 5 paragraphs for saying basic reactionary shit.

Further proof that if you feed people enough bad philosophy they will construct baroque pyramids of nonsense justifying their already-held beliefs, post the blueprints to the internet, and conclude by saying things like “I have never seen this addressed.”

So, I just decided to call everyone ‘billy bob’ because it’s easier. And I don’t want to break my brain.

Checkmate liberals.

EDIT2: “you’re just an asshole”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6BYzLIqKB8

EDIT: Endless bitching about FORCED EPISTEMOLOGY

How about… forced episiotomy? Why not worry about real things instead?

> So, I just decided to call everyone 'billy bob' because it's easier That's actually awesome. If you did that and really committed to it I don't think anyone would be mad.

Pretty sure that compromising one’s abstract philosophical convictions in purely symbolic everyday ways for the sake of not being a confrontational dick in public is commonplace and actually precisely how you maintain a pluralistic liberal society? It is kind of a slippery slope but you’d think there are better hills to die on

Increasingly convinced that, when it comes to the motte, the fish rots from the head.

I score 100% on openness to experience on the Big 5.

this means he'll chase, but if his friends find out about it he'll turn violent

That’s a lot of words by the “ACKSHUALLY I’m not a Nazi, I’m a Nazi-adjacent white-ethnonationalist” crowd

He's a Wendy's-adjacent white locker-inhabitant.

he could have just said “i play video games”, we get it, jeez

I mean, pretending to be a decent human being when you’re, in fact, a piece of shit will result in some cognitive dissonance. I cannot sneer. 🤷‍♂️

  • You can’t call people the N-word in this office.

  • How dare you compel me to hold that epistemology!

That’s a strange way to spell “I refuse to respect trans people”

Found it compelling. shrug sometimes philosophy and truth dont serve the prevailing social interests. Think we should be cautious that control of speech doesn’t serve to prevent the formation of legitimate arguments or discussion on the underlying demand

> *shrug* sometimes philosophy and truth dont serve the prevailing social interests. I don't post to /r/shitredditsays but if I did...
agreed, I would love to refer to you as a fucking dumbass from now on when I address you, but the fucking social norms man, they infringe on my epistemology and ontology what can you do, better quit reddit like a principled person
Fascinating that you all lost your minds when someone disagreed— basically just proves my point that it’s making y’all dumber.
It's just a different ontology. Look, I know it's hard to accept that you are a fucking dumbass, so you try to rationalize this by using the old internet meme "u mad bro". Just hang in there. As most people are socially smart and follow the norms, you won't have many people call you that to your face. Just forget it happened.
I’m 0% mad because none of this really affects me, and I’m an adult that can handle difficult conversations and even words I don’t like, you should try it sometime. 😼
> I’m an adult that can handle difficult conversations says the person that charges me of a loss of mind when I have a different ontology than them
If the implication is that mentally ill folks have different ontologies- well, seems plausible
spotted the adult in the room

I mean the practice of philosophy, which encompasses a large variety of ideas, many contradictory and many offensive and potentially even socially harmful, aka infohazards.
Ah yes who can forget how those prevailing social interests of "don't say the n-word at work" have really prevented the formation of so many legitimate arguments?
False equivalency between a racist slur and an actual but incorrect pronoun Boooring
Hate when people draw equivalences between hateful speech elements and hateful speech elements, smh
pronouns do not equal hate speech, even incorrect ones. You’re really trying to prove the OPs and mines point rn
They don't bc.. you say so? And that proves your point bc you also say so? Hey can you say i own a billion dollars next
