Just read @pluralistic's latest and now I'm angry all over again about how I can no longer call myself a Realist or a Rationalist because assholes have appropriated those terms to justify their bigotry and greed.
FWIW? A true Realist believes in full equality and rights for all without favor – because, realistically, any alternative system might get applied to YOU. It's irrational to think you are special.
@jackwilliambell@pluralistic Why do we as a society keep letting them ruin generally used terms so they can do some fun house mirror black is white usage of it and this ruin it?
I'm not smart enough about people to tell you a way to stop them. I mean, just look at how hard it is to get people to use 'begs the question' correctly.
