You don’t have good morals. Go read this, learn, and acquire them. Or just spout off hate speech and get downvoted/deleted again.

Yeah, no.

I refuse to be inclusive to someone who can’t be inclusive themselves. And this has nothing to do with the way anyone votes, so I am not sure how trying to educate you impacts how together we all are in voting away the fascism.

I’m not morally superior, either. I just have morals.

It’s not about not labeling bad people a certain way, it’s about not using what has become a slur to describe them at the expense of those who have been labeled that for real medical reasons. And who have been labeled that because they are different.

You sound really fucking stupid right now, and I have explained why. If you can’t bear to change for the better, you may as well be one of the idiots on the right. I’m not convinced you aren’t, actually. As the other guy stated, you have an entire dictionary of words you could use that aren’t at the expense of others, but your small mind can’t even find one that isn’t the bad one. You are the problem here.

Progressivism is about making progress. Being better/doing better when given the opportunity to do so. You seem to not understand that.

Just. Do. Better. That’s all anyone is asking. You are using the same illogical tactics that the right uses to defend a word that is no longer used as it has been co-opted by people that use it in a harmful way. We move on, choose more inclusive language, and that helps people. Especially when others don’t have to figure out the context of the word to decide if you are being descriptive or just an asshole. Right now, you are being an asshole…and looking at the votes it looks like others agree.

Why continue? You are the one that can’t figure out new words and terms. Do you have a learning disability? (For reference, this is what is most commonly accepted terminology these days. For anyone with a physical disability or from a disease process, “person with” followed by the disability or illness is what is used eg: person with Mamothmothman disease.)

Hope this helps, but it sounds like it won’t.

Your mom? lol don’t be a twat because you are wrong.

There is never an appropriate time to use that word. Grow up.

You are disparaging people with mental deficiencies by using the r word. I am defending them, not the klansmen.

Can you read?

Anyone with a sense of decency. So, not you apparently.

You are being downvoted because we don’t use the r word anymore. Don’t be one of them.

“they can choose not to do that. it’s not as though they literally re-order every product the moment they sell a unit.”

No shit. Most stock systems just remove that item from current inventory, and when it gets too low it triggers a reorder request.

Corporations do not abide by ethics. They do not care about anything but increasing profits. So not buying certain things causes stock to sit, and in this case expire. That hurts their bottom line, and so it is more likely to trigger change in the form of them no longer stocking said item to sell. Are you really this dense?

By giving them your money, you are funding the operation of the plants that produce the meat. And lining the pockets of those that make the decisions to act this way. It is not meaningless.

If you don’t give them money, it hurts their bottom line and forces either change or the shutting down of the business. You can speak volumes through making more ethical decisions about where your money goes.

By purchasing meat from companies like this, you absolutely are. Support your local butcher if you do consume.
