huh, i didn't know there was a formalised name for this, TIL
Im not sure of the general context here, but in the UK gypsy was mostly used to ( derogatorily ) refer to the Romani.
Also commonly called "travelers" due to their nomadic nature.
As with a lot of derogatory colloquialisms its usage has mutated/changed over time and differs between geographic areas.
Modern usage is generally aimed at the groups of people who nomadically move around in large caravan convoys, they may or may not descend from (or identify as) Roma.
They have a poor reputation.
If you've ever seen the movie Snatch , the group that brad pitt is a part of is one example of "gypsies".
Best I can tell, they are "Irish" gypsies but many different variations exist.
If you're struggling with the distinction between pointing out hypocrisy and a claim of moral superiority then you're going to spend a lot of time being confused and/or upset.
Thats an interesting not-quite-straw-man .
Pointing out that someone isn't following the teachings they are claiming to follow doesn't require the accuser to be an adherent to those teachings.
I could call a self professed vegan a hypocrite if I saw them eating a steak, regardless of whether or not, I myself were a vegan.
Thats some premium triple-distilled trolling right there, congrats
Edit : I want going to ask, because I didn't want to ruin the magic but I can't help myself.
How do you pack it all in like that?
so concise, its almost a haiku.
Word choice or disagreement with the assertion as a whole?
but there are "peaceful ones" like Buddhism or Jainism.
You could argue that there are some where historically the violence in less prominent, on a relative scale.
But I'd be surprised if you had a single example of an organised religion with zero historical violence.
Unless you want to "no true scotsman" through it.
Not relevant, but... Sure?
Religious nationalists aren't generally playing with a full deck, but im not sure kink shaming is the play, you do you though.
The emojis are compelling though, so perhaps relevance isn't required?
As progressive as all the other large organised religions, when averaged over time.
Mental illness doesn't negate consequences.
