And it is a component of the least persuasive, by far, posts you make here.
But keep on trying to shame people, I'm sure it will work this time.
Just to be clear: I put "stormfag" in the same category of slur as "homophobe" or "misogynist" or any other thought-terminating smear. I see them, I quit reading, and I add the writer to my mental list of "ok, well there's no point engaging with this person on this topic."
Thought terminator is absolutely the appropriate term to describe these clichés.
It's not thought-terminating to me. Same way "Leftist" isn't either.
That's because of the Leftism, not the word. You can't really engage honestly with any Socialist on any topic. That's the problem.
You just described why you feel it's OK to stop engaging in a discussion after deploying that label. Wow
Not in deploying the label, in recognizing who and what you are.
