there's two common meanings for respect, with very different meanings.

  1. treat someone like an authority

  2. treat someone like a person

\

  1. is earned, 2. is a basic right.

Beautiful clarification, thank you.

Just to clarify: people don't have to be nice to you, but they don't get to be a dick.

Remember: neutrality is the way.

@BartsBigBugBag what was the original? My brain is trying to fill in the gaps but keeps coming up with "Mutilated People".

itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 16 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Likely marginalized people

Yeah, I thought the edit was giving me "All Lives Matter" vibes.

yeah, especially the oppression part doesn't make any sense in this edit

I’m not sure what the original said, to be honest. If you find it, I’d love to have it. If it is marginalized people, that would be better definitely. I think there was a whole discourse around these memes on og 196, but I only caught the back end of it.

Thanks @itslilith that makes sense!

I’d imagine so, I never actually saw the original so I can’t say.
