gollark: But did you *not* read "everyone listens to me" and something about everyone respecting them?
gollark: That's an orthogonal issue, mostly.
gollark: I like "respect" as "recognizing people as fellow humans who you should maintain some basic standard of niceness with". And "respect" as "admiring people based on achievements". And "respect" as "acknowledge people's opinions on things reasonably" and such. I do *not* like "respect" as "subservience"/"obedience" - the "respect for authority" sense. These are quite hard to define nicely and just get lumped into one overloaded word.
gollark: > I don't really like the term of "respect", because people use it to mean so many different often mutually exclusive things based on convenience then equivocate them in weird ways;
gollark: See, I consider this somewhat, well, worrying, given what I said about "respect" for authority figures being pretty close to "subservience" a lot.
