evil celeb chef wario batali@[email protected] @helldude @lunch no, I understand that part, but I think I'm hung up on the fact that lefties only deploy it in obvious contexts, because its ubiquity in RW discourse means we use it judiciously and with precision...so like, how is anyone confused about this
nihil admirari@ademska @bakeshakenbake @helldude when you're accused of something it's generally effective as a way to imply the other person is acting in bad faith and therefore you have done nothing wrong
@lunch @[email protected] @helldude as a defensive tactic, sure, but what about as an observational tool? (Even when it's defensive deployment, I kinda like to hope that people push past the initial reaction and remember the term's value)
@ademska @bakeshakenbake @helldude a lot of Leftists Online have zero ideological discipline or desire to learn anything that makes them uncomfortable
