What's the deal with liberals suddenly calling people on here "troglodytes", is it just because it's offensive but won't get them jumped for ableism? (hexbear.net)

Over the last week I could swear I've seen way more LIB types suddenly throwing around the word troglodyte left right and centre

I live in a below street row house and it destroyed my mood. Humans are meant to see light.

Cave dwellings throughout history have generally had pretty good natural lighting, incidentally, since ancient humans had an even greater need for natural light than modern humans do. Your below street row house having poor enough natural lighting to basically drive a man to depression I'm willing to guess is a lot more to do with cost-cutting on the housing market than anything, honestly.

With fiber optic cables directing sunlight miles underground, we could build a rad troggie community [edit: is troggie a slur? because it sounds bad but also I just made it up]

Our slur filter captures words I didn't know before, if it didn't catch troggie you're safe.
