My bold.
This part I bolded is utter horseshit too by the way. The fact I'm championing myself as someone who is brutally honest was clearly very on topic because my entire point is that honesty and speaking ones mind is almost always the intention when using brutal words, and that is very on topic. I'd rather someone use a word like 'replublicunt' and mean it than someone sugarcoat things and say shit they don't mean out of concern about being 'unhelpful' or 'inoffensive' . . . confusing both themselves and everyone else in the process.
There are some that are happily misunderstood. And they tend to be the same people that are happy to misrepresent others while criticizing tone more than their substance
Yes, of course, to have both a positive and helpful tone and to speak honestly is ideal. But I'd pick someone who is brutally honest and pisses people off over a well mannered bullshitter any day. I'd much rather continue to speak my mind, however anti-social it's considered, than speak like a fucking spin-doctoring politican. The worst part about politics is when people start taking it as so paramount in itself that they forget that the important thing about politics is what the politics are supposed to stand for, and putting so-called 'helpful' policies themselves above truth is what's fucking wrong with the world today. This is how this post-truth bullshit starts. People forget that at the end of the day reality has to come before poltics otherwise you'll never be able to tell the good policies from the bad. It's often said that if something is worth doing it's worth doing well. . . but it's also true that if it's not worth doing well it's not worth doing at all. A lot of people seem to think it's okay to be really good at something even when that something is something that causes a lot of harm or at the very least confuses a fuck ton of people. Fuck so-called 'helpful' policies if they don't put speaking the truth first. Honesty is said to be the best policy for a reason . . . it's ultimately the policy that all other policies depend upon. If someone is dishonest to themselves or others, or in other words, bullshiting - then their 'policies' can't be trusted. At least when someone calls someone a 'cunt' they clearly aren't doing it to evade certain realities because it might upset people.
So yeah, I'd rather speak my mind than speak like a politician.
