Really liking how "christofascist" is the newest addition to the catalog of "Oh yeah well the left can make devastating insults too!" alongside "Chud" and "insurrectionist"

The left misspelling Chad was the worst L the left had tried in the last decade.

It was so pathetic :alexjonessmile2:

@LukeAlmighty No, it's supposed to be like that old shitty movie because we're underground nasty trolls.

"Cannibalistic Underground Humanoid Dweller", y'know?
@WashedOutGundamPilot @LukeAlmighty They're trying to call us 'subhumans' but can't bring themselves to do it.

@ElTigre @WashedOutGundamPilot
Again, subhumans is not going to stick, since the right wing has much stricter moral compass then the modern left.

You cannot create an insult without rooting it in some reality.

@ElTigre @LukeAlmighty I love it because you can really turn it aqround on them if you can pull off a sanctimonious voice. If I hear good normie women say anything about incels I'll lecture them about the "disproportionate number of black and brown bodies afflicted with inceldom as a result of the racialist norms of this society" When you point out that "most incels are indian. You might as well just come out and call them the CN-Slur if you hate them so much" they stammer.

@WashedOutGundamPilot
Although joking aside, the real problem is, that they either try to describe us in terms, that are simply false: "chud" that have no power, because using lying as an insult just throws shadow back on them. Or they are using properties people are proud of. Christofashist being actually a good example. Racist had to be reclaimed, but that is also becoming a point of pride after it was used as a weapon so many times.

That is, why the right wing calling LGBT activist "groomers" hits so hard. They cannot take pride in something so horrible. Yet, they cannot deny it either.
