Oh my god this whole post is amazing, thought I'd share my favorite excerpt:
Where the fuck do I donate???????
"Right-thinking"??
Right as in the actual definition of the word, no political
Conforming with or conformable to justice, law, or morality.
In accordance with fact, reason, or truth; correct.
Fitting, proper, or appropriate.
I get that, didn't think it was a political meaning. Just seems like an iffy word to me personally, hard to put my finger on it.
Maybe since the inverse would be "wrong-think"?
It's not that commonly used these days (especially online?), I think the phrasing is a bit old school, but it's a totally legitimate phrase.
Fair enough, had never heard it before but that makes sense
English your second language? Phrases that seem common to natives may seem off to those who learned English later in life. 'Tis a silly language.
No I just suck at English apparently haha
No, you're correct, it's always a little suspect on usage. The kind of thing you only say when you're up on a high horse, fairly or not.
