bigot noun big·​ot ˈbi-gət Synonyms of bigot : a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices

Sounds quite intolerant to not believe others when they tell you facts, doesn't it? Sounds like youre quite devoted to that position, yes? Bigotry 101.

No; the vast majority of people understand that “racism” means “racial prejudice”. What you’re claiming is simply factually incorrect, the word is used clearly, properly, and effectively all the time. Leave your internet echo chamber and talk to normal people for a little while, you’ll realize your claim is nonsense.

How so exactly?

And yes, when people use a term incorrectly as much as has been done in recent years, it does lose meaning. To the point where people believe racism means "race and power" when in years past it just meant race. So how am I the ideologue here or are you using the "No, U" argument?

I’m not even going to read this. You’re probably a kid and your opinion matters very little to me. I’m happily married and not worried about whatever your probably going on about in your comment. Have a good one and try not letting the internet hurt you so much.

The origins of capitalism is slavery, historically it's appeared in areas where castle slavery was unavailable. The buying of human labor and selling assets produced is just a step above, in evolution terms, of the buying people, it is no more humane.

A global system of total exploitation is not "friendly" it is a sickness that is posed to destroy our civilization within one human lifetime.

Ohh I see you're actually an ideologue, sorry i didn't realise you were just spouting nonsense instead of something informative. And no, those terms aren't being used properly by their definition. The fact you won't believe someone when they say the USSR killed X amount of people, by definition, makes you a bigot. So just gonna leave you with that and not care to interact with you further.
