But what if you ever lose the ability to breathe but not walk?

Welp, if I'm in a list, I'm in a list.

This doesn't address the core issue of capitalism:

Owners in general (of businesses, housing, everything) get all the money, thanks to the opportunity to mercilessly take advantage of workers/renters/everyone else. And taking advantage gets you more money to take more advantage of people.

The passivest of incomes goes to the owners, the ceos are just the highest paid guard dogs of those people.

Is that ok? Passive income being much harder to earn for everyone, unless you are rich enough to start your own business, that is.

Are we not going to end up in the same situation? Isn't it basically the same situation we're already in?

Not dumb question at all. Very legitimate question

Of course true, just a dream 🥲

Yeah, when you're going 90km/h, it's fucking idiotic. It's way too fucking close, you're going to kill someone. Random brake check incoming!

I mean, in an abstract sense your concern is valid, but, at least how I see this case, this racist dogwhistle is very fragile, in order to stay discreet, and the meme is very low-stake to use.

The "battle arena" is also the chaotic "meme market", where there is much less top-down control too, and individual idea virality reigns king. That is to say, as long as you explain your idea well, as long as your meme "hits a nerve", it will spread either way.

To be exact about what I think, I think we should do both: 1. Use the meme as a meme, because it's fun and dilutes the use of the dogwhistle, and 2. Explain the dogwhistle when we get the chance, without telling people to not use the meme. The explanation helps expose the racists, the meme delivers the antidote.

I can't, for the love of god, find the damned post and comment that talked about it, no matter how much I look for it.

But, like, this is how language works. If you normalize a different meaning to a word, that word loses its previous function. That's what oppressive regimes and cultures do to the most useful linguistic tools of the oppressed.

So, it definitely works, and it should work better the more secretive the original meaning is.

CSM is a very, very worrying series of capitalized letters to read, not knowing their origin.

Something I recently read that makes 100% sense though is, such dogwhistles gain power if avoided.

You probably should make memes with it, to muddle its meaning, and make it useless for them to identify each other with.

Therefore, you are 50% female. That's it. Nothing else.
