"Scarey"

[SHRED]

While listening to AAR and reading many blogs I see and hear the word "scarey" being used more and more regarding the far right.

I hate that word.
It conveys weakness and childishness to me.

How about "alarming" or "disturbing" instead?

3. You say scary they say scarey

Let's call the whole thing off.

4. how about fascist?

or nazis? is that alarming or disturbing enough.

No but really

alarming means: a warning of danger

disturbing means: interfere with the normal arrangement

scary means: frightening; causing fear

For some of us the alarms have already gone off that interfered with the normal arrangement and what is happening now is justifiably scary.
