re: #300 EPR-radar

I like the counter-argument based on pure practicality. Samantha Bee’s use of c*** as part of a justified attack on Ivanka Trump was a mistake because it unified the right and split the left. That’s just bad politics.

What I’m getting hung up about is the society that keeps putting so much weight on that word. It’s a media that says “shit” is acceptable on TV, but “fuck” is still verboten. In the UK, Bee’s remarks would be passed off as another political commentator speaking their mind. Only in America is it treated as a national scandal.
