      Don’t let the Right claim free speech, especially when they rarely even want it for anyone other than themselves.

      Most of these are inspired by Marx quotes.

          Westoid is also 4chan slang. Based on XVIII racist ethymology (mongoloid).

          Am I being trolled? Is this what’s happening here?

          Edit: didn’t see you are on .ml, I keep forgeting to block the instance. Will do that now, sorry.

            No, it isn’t. -oid suffix is also used by a lot of people to mean like, ,“pseudo”, like “humanoid”, this is something my funny brain-poisoned third worldist friends say. & when it’s derogatory it’s no more spicy than saying cracker.

            It doesn’t mean “western R word” it means “someone who is spiritually a Westerner or above”—many English-speaking Filipinos on Twitter with anime profile pictures are Westoids. It does have usefulness.

            I was called a Mongoloid in 4th grade due to not being hotdog colored so I wouldn’t find that funny.
