As opposed to you, who is definitely not overreacting to a word game.
- dolni 5y agoIt's not about the word game. The word game is a symptom of a larger social problem. edit: To expand on that, today it's a word game. Before that, it's Joe Rogan. Before that, it's Dr. Seuss books. There is ALWAYS something to be outraged about.
- aufhebung 5y agoFirst they came for Joe Rogan And I did not speak out Because I was not Joe Rogan Then they came for Dr. Seuss And I did not speak out Because I was not Dr. Seuss Then they came for Wordle And I did not speak out Because I was not Wordle Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
- stnmtn 5y agoIt's even better because, Rogan and Dr Seuss are still there and nothing really bad happened to them at all. This person you're replying to is acting like they're a crusader of truth against evil when all it is is people have complained a bit about something. Who is the one over-reacting?
- aaaaaaaaata 5y ago> nothing really bad happened to them at all. Besides becoming blacklisted topics in a number of circles, some of which perhaps you haven't been exposed to?
- dolni 5y ago> nothing really bad happened to them at all Spotify has removed a bunch of episodes from his podcast. Some Dr. Seuss books got pulled because "racism". Those who forget (or maybe just don't know) history are doomed to repeat it. It always starts with silencing dissenters. Just look at what happened in Canada. But hey, I guess in stnmtn's world there is nothing worth complaining about unless people end up in the gulag. But by then it is too late.
