A thread on language choices.

If you're on the right, and you're describing your opponents or their ideas:

1) Use BIGOT/BIGOTRY, not RACIST/RACISM

2) Use CONSPIRACY THEORY/THEORIST, not HOAX/HOAXER

3) Use PROGRESSIVE PRIVILEGE, not DOUBLE STANDARD/HYPOCRISY
"But Will, Dems are the real racists!"

They've redefined racism to mean prejudice+power.

You can take the time to fight them on that.

Or you can just frame their intolerance as BIGOTRY

Which:

1) they haven't redefined
2) sounds terrible
3) has terrible connotations
It's also a subtle high ground maneuver

Racism is just one form of bigotry

By opposing BIGOTRY you are opposing intolerance generally

Does anyone think intolerance is good?
