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.)
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)
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 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??
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
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
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
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
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 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?

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

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.

EDIT: Endless bitching about FORCED EPISTEMOLOGY
How about… forced episiotomy? Why not worry about real things instead?

Increasingly convinced that, when it comes to the motte, the fish rots from the head.
That’s a lot of words by the “ACKSHUALLY I’m not a Nazi, I’m a Nazi-adjacent white-ethnonationalist” crowd
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”
Even when it comes to bigotry, they have to re-invent the wheel.
