being extremely obnoxious about linguistics (wikipedia pages and arguing over descriptive vs prescriptive only) was one of the defining characteristics of early reddit comment sections. That shit still sets off my alarm bells lol
I’m thinking back to an argument on the Internet (I half heartedly replied to dissenters as I posted lefty propaganda) where they contested my claim that right wing meant that you’re in favor of hierarchical organization of society and that necessarily means corporations because it’s meta. And they were all “right wing means different things at different times. Sometimes it means a mountain village with bakers and shit.” Baby brain and you know their ass only wants a certain kind of person in that village
