Word meanings 2024....

[FonterraFarmer]

As the title suggests, much like the words like liberal and tolerant no longer mean what they were in the recent past, so list words and their 2024 "meaning".
"Inclusive", an extremely narrow section of the spectrum, predominately from the left politically, but increasingly narrow minded, bigoted and possibly racist or extremely intolerant of others possibly unnecessarily vocal and or violent.....

Far right means what used to be called patriotic.

Sustainable means almost nothing or whatever you want it to mean.

Diversity means cheering on your country being taken over.

* on another forum * stuffed with wokery, when the original Huw Edwards fuss blew up they were mysteriously simpering and sympathetic.
If it had been Farage or Trump there would've been post after post of rage face.
But apparently we were supposed to think of how difficult it must have been for his family and nothing is proven yet etc etc

Like a "Jimmy" Savile???
Really does raise the question about the BBC from an ethical point of view.
Fair to say there's been a fair bit of that kind of behind the scene's activity in most major media/tv/entertainment organisations with cover ups and sweep it under the carpet.
That said full credit to Simon Richie who was one of few people outspoken on Savile.

The Latin motto of a local school is "Fear not the truth", which I think is quite apt.
Any organisation or individual who fails to comprehend said motto should be avoided but must also held to account should they be in a position where any doubt arises or is blatantly obvious.

In Alberta my cousin's work colleague Coletun guessed my age at "35".
When your new "best friend" says that you take that as a win!!!

Referring to historical dates, AD and BC have become CE and BCE. That annoys me.

What do they stand for?

Something ridiculous but eliminating religious reference because woke reasons.
(Before) Current Enumeration

 

[Jon Feetham]

I still use AD and BC.
I'm not a frequent god botherer, but I am a Christian and if that causes offence, tough!

I've often wonder that the businesses that endorse patronage of groups like the alphabet people seem to refrain from doing the same for other groups of people or be it religious or political, just doesn't seem very "inclusive".
Equally if I'm offended by the the reference with the incorrect usage of "rainbow" in context to terms meteorological, then will said businesses address my concern to a standard that I'm comfortable with and that actually conforms to my and science's belief?
