- nikcheerla 10y agoI was under the impression that 'leftist' (like SJW) is a derogatory term used for people who would likely call themselves 'liberals' or 'progressives'. Just like I've never seen someone unironically call themselves a 'fundamentalist'.
- kmicklas 10y agoI think leftist and SJW are not necessarily considered derogatory by those who identify as those things.
- beat 10y agoThe intent of the OP was derogatory. Doesn't matter what the recipient thinks.
- int_19h 10y ago"Leftist" is just bad grammar, really.
- djeikyb 10y agoIt doesn't detract from your point, but.. I've been around hundreds of people who use the term fundamentalist proudly as sort of an advertisement for their brand of christianity. They looked askance at other flavours of christianity, believing those to have drifted from the fundamentals of the religion.
- ebfe 10y agoWhat is interesting about it? The poster clearly doesn't care for leftists, much in the same way you likely don't care for conservatives. Before you respond "But that's a false equivalency because leftists are good and conservatives are bad" I beg you to search yourself for a speck of self awareness.
- MustardTiger 10y agoIt is a derogatory term. Just like I use the term "racist" as an implicitly derogatory term. Because it is.
