True progress is the freedom for everyone to be an asshole.
- graderjs 5y agoTongue in cheek but totally true. If everyone has a voice and feels like they can express it (everyone "carries a gun" so to speak) yeah that is a pretty good approximation of true progress.
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoAssholes are so underappreciated they're used for slander. It's an anatomical device that controls defecation; Keeping poop at bay while you go about your business. Stop calling evil "asshole" and you might find your pooping becomes a little easier, as that part of your body is no longer equivocated with malice.

- Fern_Blossom 5y agoWait... are you serious? Please tell me you're being funny... oh God... that's where we're at nowadays... I think this is a sincere statement...
- hypertele-Xii 5y agoYeah, sincerely. Language shapes thought. An asshole shouldn't be a measure of malice. It's a very useful organ with an important job. Just like you wouldn't call a badly behaving individual "nigger", "gay", nor "retard", you shouldn't call them "dick", "asshole", nor "cunt" neither. Just call it what it is. By its true name. Actually say the thing you mean. Words exist. Deprecate outdated idioms and try evolving.
