Gratitude = Weapon?
Some real 1984 type shit
- ncr100 4y agoWe should kill that type of article! /s
- PradeetPatel 4y agoWeapon does not automatically imply killing and being on the offense. The existence of weapons can also be used to defend the helpless and conduct peacekeeping actions. It is important to keep an open mind about this.
- technoooooost 4y agoI sometimes use my dick as a weapon, but only in defensive situations.
- wincy 4y agoI believe in Hacker News circles this is called “the Erlich Bachman maneuver”
- dymk 4y agoThis is even more newspeaky than what the GP was implying
- llanowarelves 4y agoSure, you can weaponize anything. But the word weapon here is a much tamer metaphor meaning tool you pick up to achieve victory: resources (usually capital: money, social, cultural etc), many times in an adversarial environment (youll always get some pushback no matter what you're doing). "Battle" metaphors are common.
