>>TL;DR, if you disagree with me ur totally wrong because I said so. Look, I insulted you again! That proves how wrong you are! Clearly I am the victor. Better luck next time sweety
>I know you will simply override anything I say with posturing and derision.
>Bottom line is, you're a stupid fucking faggot and you should kill yourself.
these aren't arguments. this is mindless rage and some gaslighting.
>People can say and do whatever the fuck they want, and you can't ever stop them, short of threatening them, punishing them, or killing them. You do not deserve to monopolize on what people can say or do simply because you are convicted of your correctness and moral high ground.
any society which allows dangerous or disrespectful speech to be freely spewed can never be truly moral.
>You must provide sound reasons as to why people ought to do as you say. The possibility of hurting someone's feelings is not neccesarily a reason not to say or do something.
i believe it is called "respect"
>Certainly there is such a thing as politeness, but it is also impolite to impose your own beliefs upon everyone else.
there is a difference between forcing respect and forcing disrespect.
>If you are simply offended and not actually harmed by the behavior of an individual or group, why not simply avoid them?
not everyone *can* do that.
>They believe that the world ought to bend to their whims.
literally anyone who wants to influence the world, including in a positive way, has this mindset. try again.

remember, we are talking about violence that is specifically spurred by the mindset of a political side.

in addition to whiteknighting for the existence of grossly cruel weaponry and using mental illness as a big scapegoat without actually doing anything about the issue, the right also inherently champions intolerance, rage and fear. but if you blame the right for all the shootings, you're a virtue signalling sjw! yeah that makes a lot of sense!

they brought up radicalism and used the "both sides" argument, so i needed to show them how lopsided the level of violence between political sides really is. it is indeed related.

tolerate tolerance, do not tolerate intolerance. that simple.

>words only have power when you give it to them
there will never be a moment where every person on the planet suddenly stops being offended by inherently offensive words. there will always be power associated with them, and thus trying to de-fang them is a fruitless endeavour.
