Way, way, off base, from not wanting to rename the movement shit.
How do you think that we got along for so many decades using normal language in our publications and public discourse in the survival movement, do you really think that naming our selves swear words makes us more manly, or macho, to use the liberal type wording for masculinity.
Why all of a sudden is this punk kid thing, (look at me daddy, I’m using bad language!!!, tough man language!!!, he-man talk!!!) taking over this very old preparation movement, and being so fiercely pushed by some here as though it is a cause in itself?
You’re the one who has tried to make a cause out of it. You are acting as if the term in SIMPLY to swear, and I submit to you that it is to create a VISUAL so strong that it cannot be ignored. It is the creation of a picture and ONE indelible graphic image is worth a thousand NON swearwords. Trust me.
I mean, can you imagine saying “when number two hits the fan”? That is a comical and childish image that doesn’t have nearly the impact.
