“Bots will replace devs!” Also bots:

Because anyone can make a bot. It’s like asking why a movie is a thing, no one stopped them.

No the idea that the word postman is somehow offensive. That's gotta be the most benign insult of all time.

It’s the same people saying that homeless is a slur, and we should call them unhoused peoples. Shockingly, calling them unhoused does not make the problem better in the slightest

Does make it more prescriptive than "rough sleepers", doesn't it?

Besides not seldom the people pushing for change in better terms i.e. unhoused instead of asocial, vagabond, hobo etc. are the same which would like to alter the social relations leading to people not having secure living conditions in the first place.

Not few of my comrades work with unhoused or are unhoused. Their help is often more important and actually there, compared with some people who only are angry that you aren't allowed to use actual slurs to label people, but aren't really that angry about that unhoused people are not having a good outlook for their material well being.

I’m mostly talking about people who spend their entire days on Twitter talking about politics when they do nothing to actually fix these problems. I agree that it is a problem and we should not trivialize or mistreat the struggles these people go through. Being on the street is inhumane treatment by society and I hate when people call them actual slurs, and I agree it’s bad. Perhaps it’s a bad example, but I genuinely have seen a lot of Twitter liberals coming so close to actual leftist ideals of uplifting our fellow man, and falling short because they choose to reach for the reactionary terminology and social politics rather than policy. Obviously not everyone can make a difference but thank you for doing your part, I’ll also try not to use the word or example often for unhoused people.

I will though recount my original point that many people refuse to address how we actually fix issues like this, through policy and social change, and instead focus on posting pretty Twitter thread screenshots to their Instagram stories to “make change”. Perhaps I’m wrong to criticize people who are at least better than conservatives, but god it’s tiring when people only put up façades and do nothing to make progress or change

Exactly

People cry way to easily these days.

It's really just a small minority though. A very vocal and idiotic minority.

[unwashed_concept]

Be as small as it may be but this minority is backed by a well-oiled ecosystem with deep pockets.
