They’re not wrong

Kek what a load of cucks

I'm sure cambridge won't tell you faggot's or gay's """muh true meaning""" as the first entry either

Western society is dead.

>>17497271
Pathetic but not surprising. Bunch of cucks.

>>17497271
It does accurately describe the reality of the words usage amongst right wing extremist on sites like this.

Seems like the editor is upset at being called a cuck one too many times.

Isn't cuck exactly like that (minus the extreme right bit, much as they would like to think that)? Cuckold is the one that means "man who gets cheated on", I only ever saw cuck on the internet.

>>17497907
It's a completely different definition.

>Calling people cucks is somehow new
Why is it the the first example is about projection and the last about white men as well?

what's weird is that most of their 'examples' are sentences *about* the word cuck, not sentences *using* it, and most of those have it contained in nice, hygienic quote marks, as if they couldn't bring themselves to quote people actually directly saying it

>>17497271
All dictionaries should be burned.

ITT: retards who can't comprehend how languages work

>>17497271
I mean, it's kinda what the definition is at this point. Words do change meaning. At least it's not turned into an antonym of itself like picrel

>>17498094
in Danish we call words which change definition into its own conceptual antonym: pendulord 'pendulum-words'

>>17497271
lol why not just add the rest of urban dictionary at that point

>>17497271
They're not changing it, retard, they're updating it to keep up with the regular shifting and changing of language.
>>17497284
They have fag
>>17497907
In terms of connotation, yes.
>>17498073
Begone.

>>17498111
>pendulord
That's cool!

>>17497271

The "Left" uses the term too.

>>17497743
The use of cuck in political contexts is structurally identical to the use of 'uncle tom' or 'house nigger', it means someone who abandons their own interests(interests of their demographic) out of a fearful desire to conform to mainstream culture and politics.

The similarity to the actual cuckold is fairly obvious, he raises another man's child, he abandons his own genetic interests and devotes himself to other people's interests.

It's quite clear that this is the dynamic being used with the term because some online Communists of a more edgy temperament have adopted the word themselves to refer to proles who abandon their class interests and fight for the interests of capitalists.

>>17498185
The word may have been co-opted by communists, but it was forged in the fires of this hellhole (I’d guess it was /pol/)

>>17497271
kek

It is a shortening of cuckservative, which likened the views of some Republicans to interracial pornography.

>>17497271
can't they at least mention what it originally meant? i feel this definition was made not to describe accurately but instead for the purpose of dogma

>>17497271
I find it funny how the examples don't use the word in it's proper context. They cucked themselves.

>>17497271
To me it seems they're the wrong way round.
Cuck implies someone is weak from the insult itself, not the insult itself

>>17497271
People change the meaning of words, the point of dictionaries is to reflect that meaning.

>>17498627
...Calling someone weak

>>17498629
The point is that it's political you dumb motherfucker. "On the extreme right of politics".

>>17498575
It was obviously created by the Right because using cuckold as a derogatory term is clearly patriarchal in some sense, it implicitly condemns eg. marrying a single mother, and places emphasis on the genetic interests of the husband, which positions are not really amenable to Left wing values these days because of feminism.

The form of criticism itself is widespread though, 'White trash republicans vote against their own interests' has been a thing forever with the Dems.

>>17498627
They defining the word and are telling you not so subtlely not to use the word because 1. Only evil people use it and 2. Only insecure people use it. That being said, going around calling people cucks isn't very substantial of a point to make, it is just hurling insults.

>>17498657
It rolls back to attacking people like Jeb Bush as "cuckservative". It widened over time and lost the wordplay to mean anyone who isn't some sort of paleo-patriarch pursuing his "interests," so yes things like raising someone else's kid or marrying a non-virgin become "cucked."

The people behind this shit are the that say that "1984 is overrated, and most people don't understand it anyways"

>>17498657
Meaning evolved. It's no longer a 4chan word only. But leftists dictionaries refuse to reflect that.

>>17498679
Everything they do is projection. They are telegraphing to you what they will be doing soon.

>>17498678
Raising someone else's kid is the actual original definition of cuckold, it comes from birds that are tricked into doing so by the cuckoo. Anyway as I recall it wasn't originally applied to conservatives, it was due to articles like this appearing in the early 2010s
https://www.thedailybeast.com/cuckolding-the-sex-fetish-for-intellectuals

you had a bunch of media outlets unironically promoting the idea, which they still do now, like CNN and whoever pump out these pro-cuckolding articles every once in a while

changing the main definition of a word after only a few years of its usage within a very narrow context and population of English speakers for purely political purposes is well just obscene, reckless, and very disturbing to me when every single cultural institution is now eager to stoop there.

Except in this case it is those that are suppose to ledger the existing words and descriptions are creating the meaning and context. Its like journalists creating the story and context rather than reporting on what is already there.

In short western civilization is dead or at least intellectually so.

You're right for the wrong reasons. Italians aren't Romans. Burgers aren't English.

Do you think this is a new development? Have you read any Johnson's?

lmfao @ all the triggered chuds ITT

>>17497271
Almost as though the definitions of words change.

>>17498128
>>17498815
>>17497275
except this is not how the word is used it is a vulgar politically charged revision of history as you can see in the direct topical and racist references. cuck is just broadened to mean one who endures or advocates absurd things, a bootlicker is included under this, and from there broadened to be a generic bad word like most such words end up as.

every single thing in the image's definition is pushing a narrative and ignoring actual use.
summary of the message:
>people who use cuck are insecure angry alt-right white men
except it's a general word everyone uses and doesn't particularly relate to politics or race at all.

Is projecting the new no u?
