I noticed people started to use the idea of “no ethical consumption under capitalism” to just be completely irresponsible and just stop trying at all. I don’t think the point of that is to give up completely lol

I saw someone accuse leftists of being "reactionary," as if the term means "one who reacts." Thankfully I don't think they've really picked up on that term yet.

"reactionary," as if the term means "one who reacts."

Liberals actually think that it's what it means. Political education is intentionally non-existent.

Does that make us actionary?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

I guess the opposite will be proactionary.

That one is not just libs, it's extremely widespread. I think the process is people use "reactionary" instead of "reactive", because longer word = smarter.
