re: #302 Charles Johnson

I’m now seeing people complaining that calling Trump a “moron” is insulting to people with learning disabilities. I just can’t understand the logic of this argument. If you follow it to its conclusion, it means you can never criticize someone for doing something stupid, because people with learning disabilities might think you’re also talking about… them? How does this make any sense?

If I say Trump is an idiot, I’m talking about Trump, not anyone else. The idea that people I’m not criticizing might have their feelings hurt when I criticize someone else just doesn’t compute for me.

It’s because the RWNJs are trying to do to you (and anyone not firmly in their orbit) what they imagine that those on the left are trying to do to them when they use “offensive” words, which is to “shut down debate”.
