No one considers themselves a leftist.. there is no groups based around publicly supporting “leftist causes”..


It is only a derogatory term recently created by conservative media to demonize their opposition..

There SHOULD be no functional difference between calling someone a troll , Ahole or leftist...


No one considers themselves any of those things unless it is in a moment of regret..


That is not even really a fair comparison my way as many people proudly claim they are a troll or Ahole...

No one claims to be a leftist..

It could be worse...when you disagree with the leftists here you can called all kinds of names. Leftist is just a term for those who are more authoritarian left, those who are liberal and support policies that force everyone else comply as well.
 
"Leftist" usually refers to a progressive or a militant 'bleeding-heart' "liberal". It's derogatory only to the extent that conservatives hold progressive doctrines, opinions, and policies in contempt.

It's becoming more popular as time goes on since "progressive" and especially "liberal" are increasingly becoming misnomers.

Left-on-right equivalents would be "fundie", "neocon", "rightie".

Personally call me what you wish if it makes you feel better.

There must be real issues for you to get triggered over, don't you think?
 
How meta. What leftists do-their wheelhouse-is co-opting and controlling language to control others.
 
"leftist" is just one of those words that has lost its meaning. It is used as a pejorative, but there is no fixed definition for the word. It is synonymous with "socialist," "Communist," or "anyone who disagrees with my rather narrow point of view."

See also "liberal," "lib," "libtard," and a whole host of other terms.

Got a warning , which I am not disputing for say ing..

“Spoken like a troll.”

If that is a warning then “You are a leftist” has to be?!?

People consider themselves NeO-cons , then and now... and that word/definition was not coined by Ben Shapiro 3 years ago SPECIFICALLY to demonize his opponents..

It never had a meaning...

It was coined to fabricate a group that doesn’t exist.



Everything on your list has LARGE groups that proudly claim those titles..



That is like saying “darkie” is just a descriptive term to describe AA’s..even though no AA considers themselves a darkie..

Kike is jut a descriptive term for Jews.. sure no Jew considers himself a kike..

Creating your own little purposefully derogatory title that YOU PIN ON YOUR OPPONENTS AND THEY DO NOT CLAIM.. is inherently derogatory..

Tea baggers would be an obvious breach.. same thing exactly..

No one considers themselves a teabagger..


You can always (usually ) end around it somewhat by calling the idea or comment “a tea after”..

I thought.. lol until I got a warning for “spoken like a troll”.. my little “like a “ disclaimer did not work there...

For sure, but more than that it is ONLY an ad homiem attack when directed anywhere, but should break TnC when directed at the poster themselves..

You think it would like any other insult, yet...
 
Wonder if no mod yet giving a definitive answer means they will have to debate it..
