The point is, whining that "nazis are stealing words!" is stupid. Here are a bunch of words you can use that they can't:

progressive
universal
health
care
lgbtq rights
right to die
transgender with no -ed
social justice
pro-choice

Code can be called "degenerate". an algorithm can be called "degenerate". but if you want to call a human a "degenerate" in 2021, you are dogwhistling. it's as simple as that. there are 100 other words you could use instead, and if you land on that one, eyebrows will raise.

Post pics you dorks

nazi apologist, but you’re prepared to say it

all of those words are boring man and certainly not appropriate for ribbing each other with


a reality you’re missing out from this is that in 99% of the dealings I have in my life “degenerate”, isn’t dogwhistle.

but if keeping a mental list of words I can’t use on yospos is necessary to keep the peace, so be it

oh, what are you referring to when you are discussing degenerates?

Jonny 290 posted:

I literally do. You don't handwave away things like that if you're remotely politically conscious without being at least a quiet, meek friend of the fascists.

You didn't post a picture.

“Alien,” “Parasite,” “Degenerate”
In order to make Jewish persecution publicly palatable, Nazi propagandists branded Jews as a biological threat to Germany. Government-sponsored racist propaganda was widely distributed denouncing Jews as “alien,” and “parasitic,” and responsible for Germany’s cultural, political, and economic “degeneration.” These words had an enormous effect, creating an environment in which persecution and violence were acceptable. Students burned books by Jewish authors on pyres and purged works of art and music by Jews and others considered “un-German.” Much worse, Jews became less human in German eyes, and less worthy of society’s protection.
