I try not to cast judgement too quickly on others, but as soon as I see or hear the word "cuck", I can't help it. The judgement has been made. I immediately know that this is a person I don't like, I won't agree with and I won't get along with.
I never have respect for anyone who chooses insults over sound arguments to shut down their opponent. But that isn't what I'm here to talk about today.
This will be a very brief post, but I want to address the alt-right's...
...total misuse of the word "cuck".
For anyone who isn't aware, "cuck" is short for "cuckold".
cuck·old noun
- the husband of an adulteress, often regarded as an object of derision.[1]
The word is derived from the cuckoo bird because of it's habit of laying eggs in the nests of other birds.[2] The alt-right seem to use the term a lot more liberally even though they're hard-core conservatives. Hey, I made a joke!
They apply the label to anyone who they see as weak.
Let's try to move look beyond the fact that anyone who derides all those they disagree with as weak comes off as a total jack-ass and look at this a bit more deeply. Many in the alt-right support Trump because they think they need protection from those scary Muslims.
THEY'RE COWERING BEHIND A BIG STRONG MAN BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO AFRAID TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.
So let's be real, given the way the alt-right uses the term, who are the "cucks" in this situation? (Ugh... I hate that word so much.)
A message for the alt-right.
If you're such strong men, maybe you should act like it. Grow up. Real men can take care of themselves; they don't need to rely on a pudgy, toupée-wearing Oompa Loompa. And stop acting like children by insulting everyone who disagrees with you.
As would say, I hope this rustles some jimmies.
