If trump didnt mean to endorse white supremacists....

Has he clarified his statement? I don't have Twitter, but it seems he could reject them loudly to his millions of followers.

[quote]do you know what the word ‘apologist’ means - how can I be apologising for the British Empire if I’m stating it was the greatest Empire in history...[/quote]
Absolute comedy gold. Mmmmm that's some top tier stupid.

@QuixoticSoul ... another FCUKING idiot arrives ... go on EINSTEIN [2] explain why it’s ‘comedy gold’

@BigGuy2 An apologist doesn't apologize for anything you absolute moron. They simply defend it. For example, nazi apologists think nazis were justified - they aren't saying sorry.

The funny part is that you don't know what that word means, while attacking someone for using it correctly.
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@QuixoticSoul ... Nope - apologising for something means that you’re sorry for what you’re apologising for ... do you get it, at what point was I apologising for the British Empire
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@BigGuy2 Bwahahaha there are tree stumps with more brains than you. Crack a dictionary once in a while.

@QuixoticSoul ‘apologist’ stems from the word ‘apologise’ doesn’t it - if I’m apologising to someone, I’m saying ‘sorry’ to them aren’t I ... 🤔

...so by extension, for the purposes of this argument, you’re stating I’m apologising for the British Empire, which I’m not

@BigGuy2 You're lost in the woods, dude. And you never even tried to look anything up. These words are old, and have morphed through time. They have the same roots, but definitions have changed and diverged. "Apologist" and "Apologize" have remarkably different meanings.

[quote]"apologist (n.) one who speaks or write in defense of something," especially "a defender of Christianity," 1630s, from French apologiste, from apologie, from Late Latin apologia "a speech in defense"[/quote]

[quote]apologize (v.)
1590s, "to speak in defense of;" see apology + -ize. [b]Sense of "regretfully acknowledge" is attested by 1725.[/b] The Greek equivalent, apologizesthai, meant simply "to give an account." Related: Apologized; apologizing; apologizer.[/quote]

In the 1700s, the two diverged, but anyone with a high school vocabulary should know the difference.

For fuck's sake I'm not even a native speaker.

@QuixoticSoul ... I concede, but does it need defending ... I think not 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤔

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@QuixoticSoul ... it’s stretching the concept quite a bit, but I’ve verbally cornered you AGAIN ... yep, with a little hiccup along the way maybe, but cornered you all the same
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@BigGuy2 I'm not discussing the British empire with you, I'm just laughing at you for trying to assert vocab supremacy and fucking it up so spectacularly.
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@QuixoticSoul ... just read the FACTS and then cry, then re-write the facts AND history to suit your ‘Libtard’ agenda ... before you totter off, any comments on the Abolition of Slavery Act, or the FACT that the British emancipated slaves by paying off slave owners, costing them at the time £20 MILLION, in today’s money, it being £1.5 BILLION ... 🤔 - Tumbleweed blows through SW
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@BigGuy2 The FACTS are, you tried to dunk on someone for using the word "apologist" without knowing what it meant and it was hilarious.
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@QuixoticSoul ... a little victory, I’ll just wait for our BIG VICTORY - deflection techniques seem to be synonymous with the concept of ‘Libtardism’
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@BigGuy2 k good luck
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@QuixoticSoul ... don’t go, I haven’t finished taking the piss out of you yet
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@BigGuy2 You've conceded like twice already, and I really don't care about bong history that much.
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@QuixoticSoul ... so, what’s the 2nd concede

@BigGuy2 ... I’m waiting, oh sorry, awkward questions go unanswered by ‘Libtards’ ... silly me
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@BigGuy2 Dude, you are so dumb.
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@QuixoticSoul ... enlighten my ‘dumbness’ then, what was the 2nd concede ???
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@BigGuy2 When you called it a little victory, and then tried to talk about the bongs again like I gave a shit.

I was ever only here to laugh at your underdeveloped vocabulary 🤷‍♂️

@BigGuy2 I hope you didn't get the Prager-U history major.

@Kwek00 ... BRILLIANT, thank you SO MUCH for this
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@BigGuy2 If you think this is brilliant, then you are pretty uneducated when it comes to world history.
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@Kwek00 ... Nope, what he said was more or less exactly what I have said in my argument ... all the FACTS that he was stating are true, but what do you know, you’re from Belgium ... most people don’t even know where that is, if you have to explain where it is in your experience, In the grand scheme of things, is Belgium up there with the best ... 🤔 NOPE 🤣
