What it actually is is "actual nazis not wanting people to know they were nazis" being pwned by "anti-nazis wanting to show how those actual nazis were actually nazis"

I'm not sure how wanting historical accuracy is pro-nazi.

Does a WWII war movie that accurately portrays the actions of Nazis feel pro-Nazi to you?

Imagine instead they used some other stand-in for what Nazis really looked like. 100 years later, people will watch the movie and not make the connection between the people in the movie and the Nazis because the symbols aren't the same.

Not a good outcome.

This attitude that "we shouldn't accurately portray history because it's icky" is ... bad.

@lugal Well, yes. This manifestation of Lincoln had been apparently living happily post-death on this planet and was aware of the changes to the universe somehow. So he was aware that language had changed since his time.

Certainly the word is discouraged now but it's not really at all at the level of the other N word.

(Uhura's response is an interesting one that doesn't resonate in the modern era, despite probably being considered akin to woke at the time, I dare say.)

@lugal I mean it's not *quite* THE n-word, although it's commonly discouraged, outside of the UNCF. in lincoln's time, it would have probably been seen as genteel. especially compared to whatever words Johnny Rebs would have used.

i think the problem is that "smoke" here is also slang

think like smoke, the verb

or even better, the gerund
