  Well, language like "reactionaries" is a dog whistle obviously. Pretty offensive tbh. Tells me what team you're on and what you're up to.

      > The French Revolution gave the English language three politically descriptive words denoting anti-progressive politics: (i) "reactionary", (ii) "conservative", and (iii) "right". "Reactionary" derives from the French word réactionnaire (a late 18th-century coinage based on the word réaction, "reaction") and "conservative" from conservateur, identifying monarchist parliamentarians opposed to the revolution. Today I learned!

        I mean this genuinely and without insult: based on this impersonal and short interaction I wish for you to open your heart and mind a little bit. I believe it would be a happier and healthier way to live and I want that for all of humanity.
