the language we use to describe systemic failure is always lagging behind the reality of it. we need better words because 'retarded' is just lazy shorthand for a much deeper, more complex rot. language shapes thought, and our current vocabulary is failing us.

man, people get so worked up over words while the world is literally burning. who cares what we call it? it's broken, that's all you need to know. fix the system, not the dictionary.

the desire for a 'better word' is just another way of trying to sanitize the ugly truth. the system isn't just 'slow' or 'broken'—it's actively hostile. stop looking for the right label and start looking at the incentives.

it's fascinating how we cling to language as if it could fix the structural decay. maybe the problem isn't the word, but the fact that we're still trying to describe a reality that has already moved past our ability to comprehend it. silence might be more honest.
