The term Karen is more of a catchall of an annoying entitled bitch.

But it didn't mean that until relatively recently:
https://www.colorado.edu/linguistics/2023/04/14/evolving-pejoration-karen

And apparently there are about 3 million people called Karen, whose usage of the word as their name has precedence, and you insult all of them every time you use it in that way, besides the person you were intending to insult, which results in quite a lot of unintended consequences. It has in effect become something of what it originally was intended to protest against, a pointless attack on a random sector of society for absolutely no reason at all.

I am did bring a fact to the table. I notice you did not.
But if you are used to always being right, why would you bother with facts?


You brought no facts to the table.
Feel free to learn if the republican party has moved to the right. It is a fact.

Green = Overton window
<crazy bullshit>
There is not a single exrepublican president who could hold a seat in congress in this modern republican/fascist party because republican cultists have shifted the overton window so far right.

There is no evidence of any left shift.

But keep telling yourselves all you already know is all correct.




Already implying that I'm crazy. (Character assassination)
Calling the other party facist. (Same as above but a scale higher. Demonizing of the other party)

This discussion will definitely be cordial and fruitful. And I'm sure others who even have a modicum of pattern recogniton can already tell that it most certainly will be.

This post of yours proves two things:
1.) The bright side of this is that this proves nous's statement:
Quote from: nous – on
Let's me put this topic to rest by saying that the Artix team is comprised by folks from all around the world, many walks of life, of various religions and faiths, and most with very strong opinions. We manage to work together because we all share a diminishing value called common sense.


2.) My post being even more accurate now (third portion). Anything that is even a subatomic particle away from extreme far left is considered extreme far right by the extreme far left. The Second portion of that picture happened slowly and then ramped up to a hundred around Obama-Trump's first term.

As for this post:

You didn't bring actual facts. What you brought is a search query with a curated answer(by the search engine) marketed for a specific calculated demographic. I changed the words of your search from republican and right to democratic and left And I got the answered what it deems that I would agree on:

Funny how that works?

Now I could try and engage more political discourse with you, but my first interaction with you, pattern recognition, experiences (with other people as well as seeing other people on the current left), and the fact that you were banned in IRC before has told me in that it is a futile effort and that we will just waste both of our time so unless you're going to talk about Artix, tech, or any other non political topics (On which I think I can have a good discussion with you.) I will be the grown up and make a graceful exit.

I know you mean well, but unless there's a more catchy/easy-to-understand term/phrase. I don't think that'll change soon (nor will I).
And I'm sure the smart Karens know that they're not the one that I'm talking about, needs defending, or even care at all.

My friend, you live in actual bubble. You're being told off by most of the users with actual examples of your fallacies, nothing you've posted has any substance in this thread. And the scheme posted by CSD is on point, your side and YOU are still alienating, demonizing and vilifying people which not only is pathetic, you're treating everybody here with contempt, like you're the higher moral being. Which is exactly why almost 70% of USA voted again for Trump. I hope you'll end up with a ban.

I understand on what you're feeling. What they've done to anyone who isn't extreme far left in the past (even now in some cases but let's not get sidetracked and derail the conversation) have been atrocious. However, I don't think banning him is the right thing to do. Also by doing this (for this one trivial encounter) we (we as in not anyone in the extreme far left) will end up becoming like them (the extreme far left).

The best disinfectant to bad ideas is exposure/sunlight. Like the ways of science in the past. Where ideas/theories will actually be deconstructed, tested, met with skepticism, and then be parted with criticism that is blunt, clear, concise, while maintaining precision.

Now of course if he does what is deemed as a bannable offense, then that'll be the moderators discretion.

This is off topic.  You killed what was a productive thread.

I am not one of these folks who feel the need to debate on the internet known facts, especially when one has actually lived through things.  This is off topic.  Please drop this now.

That's why I don't like politics. Locking this one, but the next time a good thread gets derailed someone will have to pay the piper.
