What if everyone stoped using terms like libtard, commie, Nazi, fascist, racist as an experiment?

SW may be a microcosm or society. Why not give it a try and see if we all learn to listen with some respect a little better? Avoidance of snarkiness and namecalling in general would also help.

The only people I call Nazis are actual Nazis like Richard Spencer and Andrew Anglin. The only people I call fascists are those in favour of fascism. The only people I call racists are racists.

But let's try this experiment, like I told you before, I rarely throw the first punch, I just hit back harder.

You don’t subscribe to the policy of turning the other cheek or being the bigger man? @basilfawlty89

@jackjjackson No, I don't. Turning the other cheek is craven. If someone has a problem with me, I respond to them directly. I've tried respectability politics and all it ends with is some jackass stepping up the insults and ad hominems. Now, they just block me instead, so I get a laugh.
