'Citizen' might be a better insult than 'liberal' for some situations (lemmygrad.ml)

Just a quick shower thought (I am literally typing this in the shower)

I think it might hit closer to home, because the insult (accusing someone of being loyal to the empire) is less abstract than insulting someone for having an unscientific world-view. Another benefit is that it makes us seem less like conservatives, and is harder to coopt by patsocs.

Obviously, the insult will probably only become effective if it spreads so that people know what is being referred to. And obviously, liberalism is still a menace.

What do you guys think?

You're right, it's always best to be civil with people, even if we find the things they stand for unethical. I actually found this article about how baseless insults actually ruined our chances at pushing the Dems left. It's an eye opening read.
