FR (directed against no one...or maybe, everyone)
Oh, I don't know. There is a LONG history of using "True" to claim the supposed high ground and "diss" those that don't slavishly follow. Those that use "True" to set aside their brand of BDSM have good company, after all. Racists, bigots and haters of all stripes have used the claim of the "one TRUE way" for centuries. Viz:
quote:
Almost all churches and Christians disagree on important issues. It appears that God is not leading them because He would lead people to the one truth and not contradict himself. Almost everybody must be wrong. If people claim that God led them to a belief or decision, it should always be correct. Otherwise it is not really God leading them. I know many sincere and caring people seeking God and his word. However, God may not be truly leading anyone we know for the above reasons. -- from

OR MAYBE ITS: quote:
Hence he believes in the advisability of having as politicians not only men who can lay some valid claim to a knowledge of humanity, but also men who belong to the stock of those whose policy they are called upon to direct. He also disbelieves, therefore, in having Jews or men of foreign extraction or odd people—that is to say, eccentrics, cranks and fanatics—as politicians in an English Parliament.

OH WAIT! Maybe its: quote:
Do you think that when most 'Americans' are actually Mexicans, Asians, or Africans, that the country will remain the same? What sort of a place will your children be living in decades from now, when Clinton's above wish [that there be no "majority race" in the USA] has come true? But look at the above demographics again. When the national electorate is dominated by other races, how is is their government going to rule? Are they going to look after your children and their future, as we currently look after theirs? No, because ours is the one true race, the white race.
--From "White Truth", one of innumberable white supremacy screeds on the web So, when the OP calls out the use of "TRUE" I think she's on to something. But that's just me. I hear people claim a superior knowledge of B/D/S/M and tout their "true" way all the time, and I think "that's really just an insult to everyone of us who DON'T think their way." But of course, its easier to be one of the "truth claimers", or at least join their camp by apologizing for them. Those who claim the "one true way" are in fact using demeaning and derogatory language, and you know it. Indeed, they name-call those that call out the abuse of the word "True". But that fits with their previously established level of name calling, veiled threats and idiot discourse. Just something to think about. E. |
