I agree, and I personally swear all the time. But I grew up in a family and culture that believed swear words were morally wrong, and had to deconstruct that (among many other things) on my own, so when I see other people expressing beliefs that I used to believe, I like to try to engage with them :)

No, lol. But I am going to ask you to explain why you think swearing should delegitimize a person’s opinion? What is the logical reason behind your stance?

I bet regardless of what political/religious/ethical philosophies you adhere to, I can find prominent people who represent that philosophy well, who swear.

You don’t think you listen to people who swear, but you do. You just may not have directly heard/seen them swear.

I deleted my Meta accounts when Zuck became openly sycophantic towards Trump.

If my friends want to talk to me, they text me. Some even got Signal because I told them it was my preferred messaging app.

If they want to send a social media post/reel to me, they can text me with the link to it and I can view it in browser.

You can’t force your friends to care about surveillance, but you can choose to do what you believe is right, and your real friends will accommodate you, even if they don’t understand.
