- jacobolus 8y agoYou don’t think it’s rude for an elderly lady to respond to a young woman mispronouncing her name by “jokingly” calling her a prostitute? There is some dispute about whether this famous insult actually happened though, https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/11193714/Meet-Margot-Asquith-aprime-ministers-wife-who-was-more-vilified-than-Cherie....html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/11193714/Meet-Marg...
- windowsworkstoo 8y agoIt’s savage as fuck...still funny though
- PavlovsCat 8y agoSuch savagery is born out of weakness. To respond like that to a honest mistake is like slapping someone in the face for no reason at all. It's like a child saying something wrong to an adult and the adult just throwing it across the room, for no reason. There's no such thing as "no reason" though, and in this case it seems pretty easy to guess at the rough shapes of those reasons, and I find it hilarious that it seems to escape thousands, millions of people. I guess that is just one more pebble pointing to the wider alliance of the obedient with sociopaths that Arno Gruen described.
- PavlovsCat 8y ago> I don’t know how you turned a throw away one liner into a blog post... To be honest, I'm right with you. But I enjoyed it thoroughly, and actually already started to turn it into a blog post, haha. Also a new thing for me, but also fun. I just find psychology interesting. And if you look around, it's actually some kind of quotation, instead of the kindly forgotten weak moment which it would be in a world that doesn't need even such silly blog posts. I didn't bring it up, I did my part to put it to rest, and you're welcome :P
