I see your point. I guess I’ll drop that from my insult library, but I’m gonna need something extra salty for the likes of Trump and the idiots who attend his rallies. ---

I, also, need something stunningly insulting to describe those scum who are so stunningly bad at being people. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > No, it really is racist. Maybe you’ve heard some other race/color before “trash”, but I never have and I spent a hell of a long time in a damned racist part of the country. The default is that other races–especially Black–are automatically trash and if they try not to be, well, then, they’re “uppity”. Of course I disagree with that racist bullshit, but that’s the view I encountered in that hell of a long time. > > I would’t be surprised at all if those idjits in the Alabama legislature who passed that bill were fucking their sisters and that makes it doubly surprising to me that they didn’t include an incest exception. Maybe they’re starting to figure out that incest is rape too. They’re still too little too late on the learning curve, though. Never thought through this as you have, but you are absolutely correct. Thanks for helping me fight my own ignorance. ---

While we’re talking about this… what about “redneck”? I have tried to remove that from my vocabulary but it pops out sometimes, and then I feel bad. Is there a deeper explanation on Why we should abandon that one? It just seems to rope in too many people by accident for my purposes. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > Thanks. I, also, need something stunningly insulting to describe those scum who are so stunningly bad at being people. Thanks for pointing that out for him, I get pretty uncomfortable when I hear people use that term. I always think of “day baseball game” - the only reason people say that is that by default, a baseball game is at night. The implication with “white trash” is that the regular trash isn’t white. But we do need a term to describe the idea - people who have had no built-in obstacles to being contributing members of society but have failed to do even that. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > Thanks. I, also, need something stunningly insulting to describe those scum who are so stunningly bad at being people. Since the 1980s, the conservatives have made it a priority to make “liberal” seem a denunciation, especially in conjunction with the phrase “bleeding heart”. So, how about “conservative”, using it in conjunction with… what? “Broken heart”? “Greedy?” ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > At this point I can’t think of anything worse than “Trump supporter”. Yeah, this is good. But I want to tie the “insult” to the “problem”.

> [@JohnT](#): > > Never thought through this as you have, but you are absolutely correct. Thanks for helping me fight my own ignorance. Thanks. I tend to overthink language since “language is my bag, baby”. But, in this case, I really do not believe I’ve overthought it. Even while growing up in the aforementioned racist as hell part of the country, I detested the term for the reason I’ve stated here. > [@Try2B\_Comprehensive](#): > > While we’re talking about this… what about “redneck”? I have tried to remove that from my vocabulary but it pops out sometimes, and then I feel bad. Is there a deeper explanation on Why we should abandon that one? It just seems to rope in too many people by accident for my purposes. The Wiki article for the term [redneck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck) is rather interesting to me. If you check the _Outside the United States_ section, you’ll see how it was used before American English got its grip on the term. > [@CurtC](#): > > Thanks for pointing that out for him, I get pretty uncomfortable when I hear people use that term.

Scum? The [Wiki article for _White Trash_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_trash) is quite illuminating, especially when it talks about the situation of poor whites during the Civil War. It should, but of course it won’t, put the rest the myth of the patriotic southerner fighting for states’ rights against northern aggressors. > [@CurtC](#): > > “Redneck” isn’t really an insult, at least where I’m from. I tell people that I’m a redneck. [Jeff Foxworthy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Foxworthy) has had a bit of a career with his usage of the term _redneck_. I tend to think a lot of folks don’t actually see the point of his humor. As the wiki page for _redneck_ put it, he “cajoled listeners to evaluate their own behavior in the context of stereotypical redneck behavior”. Come to think of it, I’d dearly love to see a cutting take on his \*You Might be a Redneck If…" routine. It could start off with: “You might be a redneck if you had conniption fits when Obama got elected president”. > [@Anny\_Middon](#): > > I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if he called a white woman uppity. I’d think he’d prefer the expression, “She doesn’t know her place”. > [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > Uppity white women are “shrill.” > > But that’s not just in the South. Yep. I’ve heard that in both the South and the North. Oddly enough, I never heard that in California. > [@Gyrate](#): > > At this point I can’t think of anything worse than “Trump supporter”. 🆒 > [@JohnT](#): > > Yeah, this is good. But I want to tie the “insult” to the “problem”. Since conservatives argued that caring… aka “bleeding hearts”… is what made one a liberal, and then turned actual caring for people into an insult… I wonder if we can do the same. It’s amazing to me how they don’t see how wrong that is. Caring for others is supposed to be basic Christianity, yet they don’t care for those who need help, all the time they (the “conservatives”) clamor about what good Christians they (again, the “conservatives”) are. I guess they don’t care about those who need help because those folks need help thanks to the damn conservatives causing the problems the helpless ones face in the first place. > [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Reactionaries. And because there’s nothing conservative about the way they express their reactionary tendencies, “radicals.” If they want to claim that they’re conservatives, they can start behaving conservatively. Sounds good to me. But I still like _scum_ as the insult. ---
