Lots of conflation of verbal response versus physical violence here despite the massive gulf of difference.
You should expect verbal pushback on your shitty ideas. You should expect physical safety nonetheless.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> You should expect verbal pushback on your shitty ideas There is also shitty pushback to decent, or inchoate, ideas. I strongly push back against the notion that there shouldn’t be spaces where one can say something dumb and not be crucified for it.
- llamaimperative 2y agoAgain: “crucified.” Say what you actually want, I don’t know how to interpret this idea. I haven’t heard of a crucifixion in recent times if I’m being honest.
- SanjayMehta 2y agoISIS crucified a number of people as recently as 2014. https://www.christianpost.com/news/isis-crucifies-11-christian-missionaries.html https://www.christianpost.com/news/isis-crucifies-11-christi...
- llamaimperative 2y agoSee, what an excellent contrast between actual crucifixion and simply someone saying your ideas are bad and socially ostracizing you.
- blitzar 2y agocrucify /ˈkruːsɪfʌɪ/ verb past tense: crucified; past participle: crucified 1. put (someone) to death by nailing or binding them to a cross, especially as an ancient punishment. "two thieves were crucified with Jesus" 2. INFORMAL criticize (someone) severely and unrelentingly. "our fans would crucify us if we lost"
- watwut 2y agoIt is figurative speech. It is valid use of an English language.
- llamaimperative 2y agoRight and it means “don’t criticize when I say stupid things,” which is how the marketplace of ideas works.
