The alt-right coined the term in it's modern usage. It's not like the term became popular and then the alt-right started inserting race into it. A bunch of online white supremacists started using the terms and it spread from 4Chan and Reddit into internet discourse.

Just because a few people later used a racial epithet in a non-racist way doesn't make the term suddenly ok to use.

Writing the same thing to two different writers is spamming now? That's two threads with an overwhelming number of 1 post. One. If the moderators think that's a problem they can tell me.

Meanwhile, feel free to continue to cape for a racist slur while also working to normalize alt-right terminology.

False equivalency. If you had had a good teacher, you'd know what that means.

I just do not know why they feel such a need to do what they do. They've got theirs. Why can't we try to have a nice place to live?

I'm sure they call themselves good xtians....

Batshit crazy like daddy, Fred (Mr Bircher himself). Incubated in entitlement and marinated in superiority. Unfortunately, that obscene amount of inherited money warps a person. Add in toxic theology and we've all got a problem.

Original posts. Having a discussion isn't spamming. *sigh*

I write this on every article?

I wrote it on the two articles this week that used the racist alt-right slur "cuck" in their headline. Once per article. What's the problem?

Why do you say "cuck" Dok Zoom? Next you'll be saying "Fake News!"
