Hi. So the weirdest, most annoying argument I’ve had just happened. Some alt-righter’s logic was “Well, if I use this obscene word a lot, then i’m using it liberally, and if enough people hear it, then thAt’s PRoGREssive” Dafuq crack are you smoking bro? Using hate speech/profanities/obscenities is neither liberal or progressive. Am I wrong? Explain this warped logic to me? Chuds are quite illogical. Also, I’m a bit buzzed and I can make more sense than a right-wing chud.

    Not sure what is meant by progressive, but using a word liberally is not “liberal” in the same sense as in “liberalism”. Some words have different meanings depending on context, but that doesn’t mean you can confuse the two.

      The connotative meaning of words versus the denotative meaning of words is the contradiction which causes most of our misunderstandings.
