language is a big dumb ride that usually doesn't actually go anywhere lol

2018-07-20 23:15:21 UTC  

I think it *can* go somewhere

2018-07-20 23:15:41 UTC  

It just goes there occasionally, and in spite of the userbase

2018-07-20 23:15:52 UTC  

yeah, it takes an absurd amount of time though. most changes are just going in circles

2018-07-21 01:11:38 UTC  

There's also organic changes in a word that are not so good.

Like the continual redefinition of violence to where now words are violence

2018-07-21 01:12:38 UTC  

that's not organic, that's one of those changes that are being forced

2018-07-21 01:14:01 UTC  

Yeah, very few people actually believe that, but the loud socjus minority make it seem bigger than it really is

2018-07-21 01:14:15 UTC  

But that's things functioning as intended

2018-07-21 01:30:48 UTC  

I disagree. Violence has overgone *braodening* as it's called in linguistics.

Only within a clique

2018-07-21 01:31:35 UTC  

This is convenient for some people, but the mental-health nuts on Tumblr seem to *honestly believe* that words and ideas that cause distress are equivalent to physical violence (and will point to psychology stuff to try and make that point)

2018-07-21 01:31:47 UTC  

It's a growing clique though.

2018-07-21 01:32:49 UTC  

I don't think it is, tbh

2018-07-21 01:33:20 UTC  

The lefty purity spiral is real

2018-07-21 01:33:47 UTC  

They hemorrhage moderates the more hard-line they get

2018-07-21 01:35:21 UTC  

Sure. But they also get converts.

2018-07-21 01:35:57 UTC  

Returning to the original point. Read this if you haven't already. It's one of those things that will be written in the history of the current culture war.

Also note the date. This was before Trump sent the left into an absolute tizzy.

2018-07-21 02:30:49 UTC  

I dont think triggers are firearms

2018-07-21 02:31:05 UTC  

But well the far left treat offense like they were shot at

2018-07-21 02:47:40 UTC  

lol. This is the firearms chat.

2018-07-21 02:50:32 UTC  

Firearms, not everything with a trigger is one

I mean, I know it's impractical just looking at it, but I can't help but want it

2018-07-21 06:25:57 UTC  

I.. didnt realize how small you can make em

2018-07-21 06:48:42 UTC

2018-07-21 07:50:17 UTC  

Wait... isn't a jackhammer with a knife in it a "bumpstock assault knife"???

2018-07-21 08:33:32 UTC
