was wading through the shit storm upstairs and got to page 6 when i decided i just had to make this topic.
the word 'reactionary' doesnt mean someone who reacts out of proportion to something. it isnt synonymous with the term 'knee jerk'
a reactionary is a conservative, opposed to social and political change who yearns for things to return to how they were in the past.
so someone says 'omg garry said man utd' and someone else says 'omg garry out' and someone else says 'omg stop being so reactionary'. thats wrong. that isnt what reactionary is.
anyone else like to clear up some common misconceptions while we are at it?
