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?

    Insults only reflect the ugliness of the insulter, not that of the insulted, so I think it is generally best to avoid using them.

    Ideally, yes, but good luck convincing people online to not insult each other.
