apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 13/07/2026as a kiwi there are a great many words i read as māori before realising that they are in fact english and should be pronounced with english's (lack of) rules 020
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026every despicable ideology has its tagline. next they'll be telling me i'm anti-deutsch by being against that "future for white children" nazi slogan 030
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026that's comedic, not even offensive and definitely not a slur. accurate is a stretch though 110
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026i'm saying that i view them 100% identically to any other calls for violence against people based on their reprehensible political views, which is to say i disagree but it's a far sight from targeting people based on inherent characteristics 170
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026"when it was explained" when what he actually said was "i don't need to explain" and then listed a bunch of identity based slurs, none of which have anything to do with political position 140
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026i have deep contempt for white british men who export their bigotry around the world... and you're the ones who said "women are telling you this", "used against women" etc when this whole conversation is a man coming to our subred to spread his bigotry then crying when the women there didn't like it 130
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026of course there's sexist slurs like b-, sl-, c-. religion is a weird one because we as a society have decided that religion deserves protection in the same way as ethnicity etc. i asked for political positions - would you say commie is a slur? it's certainly used exclusively pejoratively 220
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026also not sure how women got brought into this, the terf in question being piled on here is a white british man 461
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026give one (1) good reason why it's not a slur to call someone a fascist, nazi, republican, tory etc, to use those terms on signs protesting fascists, nazis, republicans, tories - or indeed to incite violence against nazis, much as i would disagree with that - but terf magically is 171
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026every slur he listed targeted people based on inherent characteristics because that's what slurs are. if there's a plague of slurs targeting political positions then *why wouldn't he include examples of that* 110
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026can you name any real slurs targeting people based on political views or behaviour? 110
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026replace all of those with any of "nazi" "fascist" "tory" or "republican" and it's counterproductive, i don't agree with political violence, but it is obviously political and not identity-based. if you google "punch a nazi today" or "only good nazi is a dead nazi" you'll get a million results. 271
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026all of the groups you said, people cannot choose to not be a part of. you are free to choose a less hateful ideology at any point, which is why "terf" = "tory" not the n-word (which again, it's unbelievable how you were so eager to throw around) 010
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026and again, all of those refer to inherent characteristics of people not their ideologies. compare to "nazi" "republican" "tory" "fascist" all of which i would say with pure disdain and all of which are obviously not slurs 230
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026couldn't wait to type out actual slurs could you mate... 261
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 09/07/2026so is "republican" a slur when i say it with all the disdain i can muster? 361

apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 07/07/2026incel is when women don't like men telling us what's good for us? as far as i know both of the subreddit moderators are cisgender women 1100
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 07/07/2026can you explain what precisely makes "trans-exclusionary radical feminist" a slur rather than a description of a political position? (i actually happen to think it's inaccurate because creepy men such as yourself enforcing the status quo are neither radical nor feminist, but that's not the point) 7111
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 07/07/2026lol loser man is out here telling a bunch of women that he knows what's good for us, and it's misogynistic actually to say that we can decide for ourselves, and then having a sook that people don't want his crap around 150

apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 20/02/2026well it's lucky that your moderates keep on sweeping purple states then right? right? right? would make you feel pretty stupid if you keep forcing moderates who then proceed to lose repeatedly anyway because they don't inspire people to get out to vote, good thing dems have won the last 3 elections 130
apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 20/02/2026this is true, and yet somehow you lot always want progressives to vote for dems *against* better wealth equality, women's and lgbtq+ rights etc even when better options were right there 230

apocalypso @apocalypso42.bsky.social · 21/11/2025That's not true though. LLMs (and machine learning systems in general) are explicitly not if/thens, they are grown through iterative training rather than being designed by hand, and nobody knows how the trillions of numbers inside the parameters leads to their behaviour. 2100
