I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.

    So ridiculous… I never used the term but understood it basically meaning “mindfulness and accepting humanity”.

    Then pop politics took it, stuck their chodes in it, fucked it, dragged it through the streets and shot it in the head.

    And now its basically a hate term for anyone that lives with respect towards humanity.

    But don’t get me wrong, I hated when people threw it around as conveniently as “lit” or some shit like that.

    Now using the word woke basically means you’re too dumb to understand life or your own existence, because it’s only grumpy selfish assholes that use it.

      Awake (woke) to human needs, human rights, how broken capitalism is and humanity’s effect on the climate.
