Just had to out this somewhere and this is probably the most safe space for it.
I am an ultra left anarchist so i support any progress shift in us political polls and i do get it.
I dont and wont ask people to stop using effective political memes. But whenever i see a top comment labeled these bad people as weird, i feel like i too would not be accepted, even if i know thats not what its about.
Sorry.
Weird is an all encompassing word that doesn’t favor any specific type of weird. You can be good-weird, and you can be bad-weird.
Just like you can be good-smart and you can be bad-smart, or good-attractive or bad-attractive.
Because he is called weird, doesn’t take away from your own weirdness.
!remind me 8 years.
This will have the consequence of weird, once again, only being negative.
I predict it will become like the word gay and will need to be redeemed/reclaimed in the same way in the future
I doubt it. Trends, be they catch-phrases, or be they memes- just don’t have the shelf-life they used to. We consume and forget. That’s our culture.
Now had this happened in the 70’s? Forget about it. We’d STILL be going by that paradigm now.
Well let’s revisit this in 8 years
