@Diva @TWeaK wasn't the secret point of the Iraq War to use it as our foothold in the ME...

There's a particularly chilling Doctor Who episode where aliens took over the world a year ago, but have been telling everyone that it has been that way forever, and punishing those that publicly deny it. 99.9% of people simply go on repeating it and accepting it and just going about their days as normally as possible, despite everyone knowing it isn't really true.

@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.
