I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

No one targets my favorite New Balance-American podcast guys. NO ONE!!! 😡🤬👿👹

Yep! Im also a big fan of "dullard"

Take a guess what people in the 18th century used to call retards

I know, what a simpleton.

I agree with him though. I think the terms black and basketball american is outdated and offensive now. I'd rather use the 18th century word for that now

Irish?

Nobody deserves to be called irish. Jesus christ man. I'd rather use "agricultural tools".

"antique farm equipment"

Mick.

Sweet, we circled all the way back on the euphemism treadmill.

This harlot dullard is spreading absolute poppycock!

Also moron, simpleton, mongoloid, special, imbecile, spastic, idiot, cretin or feeble-minded.

Thankfully, the ADA have just officially declared the new term of 'Chapo' as a replacement for people with severe learning difficulties.

Idiot is Ancient Greek. It meant ‘an individual’ in the context of someone who did not care about politics.

no you f-slur r-slur. It was ok to call them the d-slur in the 18th century. Its the c-slur which matters because of the b-slur and not the k-slur. K?

i don’t have a lot of problems with chapo but their lack of inclusion is laughable. between the ableism and the weird bimbo shit, i don’t think they have any right to not be criticized. this is what happens when you alienate so many demographics that your movement is just left with white dudes.

Yeah because circlebrokers are definitely representative of normal proletariat people. They totally aren't delusional wackjobs who think everything to the right of Assata Shakur is literal facism. No way they won't alienate working class people in a few minutes.

Day of the fixed circle when?

day of the concentric circles

I thought it was Day of the Mobius Strip?

that'd be CB1

This is offensive to retards

I stopped using slurs that would harm people and now use terms like dingus or ding dong or whatever.

It's not rocket science!

This confuses me greatly.

My mother will say 'fudge' rather than 'fuck' because somehow that is more acceptable/less offensive to God. The same God who is omniscient and thus would know she meant 'fuck'.

Retard means "delay; hold back; slow; inhibit progress" that isn't even remotely offensive.

Some people just need to be honest with themselves and admit that they don't define 'retard' as above but instead define it as downs face or gimp.

Saying "fudge" means you are at least trying to make your sin a little less intentional. If that makes any sense.

I can't be the only that remember that the 'left' used to the edgy, right? Even back in the day 4chan had a leftist and atheistic zeitgeist to it. When did this emasculation of the political left take so strong a hold online? 2013ish via twitter?

when identity politics became a thing

Every so often someone will post an old Vice article on here like “how to get a stripper to fuck you” or something. Different times man.

I remember after Obama's re-election being totally convinced that the Republican party would never win the Presidency again, under the belief that they would be so out-of-touch with the upcoming generation that they would have nothing to offer.

Little did I know that shortly thereafter, the Left would overextend and go full retard with identity politics.

Right in the feels

Twitter has a lot to answer for.

Moral authoritarians will simply adopt the most convenient ideology that gives them easy personal power. In the 90s it was religious puritans and think of the children. But as evangelical Christianity began to lose its furor in the US it just got replaced with identity politics.

Doesn't really matter which flag they fly, the tactics and goals are pretty much the same.

I wonder why retarded people would be upset by being called retards.

the_marx is a troll right?

Damn! he was being unironic this whole time?

Chapotards

our disabled allies

shit writes itself

Since you retards can't hold your tongue/err..keyboard, we trigger the special people of r/CB needlessly.

Here's a fucking glossary for you faggots, remember every word of it the next time you even try to have a dream conversation with a gussy or so help me God, I would get Fallowboob to post Netflix ads every day in your Reddit feed.

Its a retard circlejerk in CB2

When is it not?

idk if it's just me but I've noticed almost every nominally progressive subreddit becoming much more ⁠/⁠r⁠/⁠chapotraphouse-esque in tone. which is really annoying because the subreddit is not nearly as funny or clever as they think they are, and the users are edgelords who are largely incapable of sympathizing with disadvantaged people. the moderators literally permanently banned me for making a post about how their users shouldn't insult people for being mentally-ill...

If Mr Marx is indeed a troll I have to say that this is an absolutely stunning piece of bait. It's remarkably subtle.

I'm reading through this thread, everyone is pointing to other groups as the problem, but everyone keeps pointing out that each person is also part of said group. Reddit is really just 1 group of assholes pretending their not secretly part of the same group asshole. Wish I could see the Chapo/T_D overlap now.
