Socialism bad...

@KiwiBird It is interesting that the other thing that man is famous for is ratting out leftists to Scotland Yard and MI5.


The fact he also self identified as a socialist himself makes him a very conflicted individual from history.

@KiwiBird George O. was a socialist. He associated socialism with freedom and a brotherhood of men.
(What's a gender-neutral version of "brotherhood of men")?

@helenS Are you sure Eric Arthur Blair was a socialist? Maybe only his nom de plume George Orwell was....

Hood of Humanity is as gender neutral as I can get.

@KiwiBird Absolutely. He even fought with Marxists and Anarchists during the Spanish civil war.

Although he also was a snitch for the British secret police so he certainly was conflicted.

@KiwiBird Thank you – would that be understood by normal speakers, or would I receive bewildered looks?

@helenS You will probably have to put up with bewildered looks....it is hard to placate the lowest common denominator however hard we try.

@KiwiBird Thank you again. 🌷

@KiwiBird It's a big thing in every language. In France there is a fight about whether a female professor should be addressed as "Madame le professeur", "madame la professeure", ou "madame la professeuse".

@KiwiBird Interesting tidbit I am just not sure where you are going with that. That pretty much confirms my point.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I wasn't arguing with you.

@KiwiBird I thought so. Otherwise I would be very confused. lol
