I'd rather avoid terms that immediately identify the user as part of a particular political group, whether intentionally or otherwise. Naming things is a tricky enough topic without additionally chumming the waters for all-but-guaranteed ad hominem attacks.
- EarlKing 5y agoI don't know why anyone would have a problem correctly identifying people engaged in class warfare for their own benefit. There's nothing tricky about naming people openly engaging in class warfare... except on the part of people who don't want their activities exposed to public scrutiny.
- Karunamon 5y agoSubscribing to the notion of "class warfare" in general is the political marker I was just speaking about.
- EarlKing 5y agoThere are no politically neutral labels. Every word ultimately contains within it an implicit affiliation with one group or another, and an implicit judgement upon others. I prefer to call a spade a spade no matter who it offends. In fact, seeing who it offends is often quite instructive.
