Every Insult the Right Uses to Troll Liberals, Explained
 

Here's a safe space to learn why people keep offering you coloring books and trophies.

America's political divide has never been wider and, with a historically unpopular president already digging his heels in with a flurry of controversial executive orders, that chasm is only guaranteed to grow.

Unsurprisingly, the protests and pushbacks have only galvanized the Trump faithful's commitment to their leader. And they aren't at all afraid to share their opinions of those standing in opposition to the Trump team's whims, be it online or in person.

Should you be on the receiving end of their vitriol?and as the majority of the country and world is anti-Trump, you likely will?you may need help deciphering some of the more arcane zings sent your way. Here's a little cheat sheet.

Beta: There's a sizable Venn diagram overlap between Trump supporters and dudes who got sucked into the icky world of pickup artistry. In the PUA realm, thanks to complete misunderstanding of wolf pack hierarchies, "beta" has come to be used as a catch all term for anyone who is not an assertive, overbearing alpha type (mostly liberals). This insult has begun to wane in popularity as the more popular "cuck" is used to the same effect.

Blue Pill: In The Matrix, Neo was offered a red pill and a blue pill by Morpheus. The red pill would wake him up to the hard truths of the world, and the blue pill would keep him in the more comfortable fantasy world.

Some on the right see themselves as Red-pillers, who have taken on the burden of enlightenment and having so-called epiphanies about why the races should not mix.

Don't feel too bad if if it's ever suggested that you've taken a blue pill. It's as hack a sentiment as "wake up sheeple" and red pillers are inextricably linked with impotent misogyny.

Blue/Purple-Haired: Referencing the propensity for feminists, SJWs, and other disliked groups to dye their hair bright pastel colors, this insult is, itself, a splash of color usually thrown in to modify a base slur.

BTFO: Ever the gracious winners, Trump supporters celebrate electoral, legislative, or endorsement victories with BTFO, which is shorthand for "blown the fuck out." This is as much a cheerful rallying cry among one another as it is a taunt to the defeated adversary.

Coloring Book: Referencing a few colleges' misguided efforts to soothe the burn of Trump's victory with offerings like puppies, hot chocolate, and coloring books, this insult insinuates that young people on the left are infantilized and ill-equipped to deal with issues outside of their familiar bubbles that challenge their worldview.

CTR (Shill): After the International Business Times reported that Hillary Clinton's campaign had potentially violated FEC laws by donating $280,000 to Correct the Record, a super PAC that engages in generating online political discussion, correction, trolling, etc., many pro-Clinton comments in various online threads were accused of being the work of "CTR shills." "CTR" is not as popular an insult as it once was?what with Clinton having lost and all?but "shill" is still thrown around with regularity to impugn a particular commenter and suggest they're being paid off by a cabal backing the opposing viewpoint.

Cuck: You already know this popular one. To the insulter, liberal ideology is akin to another man fucking your wife. How'd we get from point A to B there? Setting aside the potential projection issues, the simplest reason is that a cuck is regarded as a simpering doormat of a person. "Cuck" is basically just "pussy" rebranded.

While not always the case, some usages of cuck have a racist element added. The wrinkle lies in the fact that a fair amount of cuck porn features a black man or men having intercourse with a white woman while her white husband watches. Liberal ideologies, traditionally more tolerant and beneficial to minorities than those of conservatives, are therefore regarded as a sort of political cucking.

CURRENT YEAR: Comedian John Oliver frequently (OK, maybe too frequently) makes jokes along the lines of "it's 2017, why are we still having to argue for the womens' rights?" This irked segments of the right who believed that pointing to a date on a calendar was not a sufficient argument for a stance.

"It's [CURRENT YEAR]" eventually simmered into the reduction "CURRENT YEAR" and is now employed to mock liberals who think that maybe gay marriage should maybe be legal in the same epoch in which we're gearing up to colonize Mars.

Feminist: Feminism advocates for equal treatment of the sexes. Some people, men's rights activists in particular, insist that the philosophy actually seeks to diminish men. They're wrong, of course, but this hasn't stopped the word from becoming an insult that only has teeth when read or heard by others who are also anti-feminism.

Globalist: There are legitimate debates to be had over the economic ramifications of globalism. Unfortunately, anti-globalism is also linked to nationalism, which is pretty much next-door neighbors with "the races should not mix." If someone is calling you a "globalist" online, there's certainly a chance they're doing so with corporate taxation in mind. But given the nature of the medium, it's quite likely they're also concerned with the far more slippery slope of "national identity."

Libtard: A portmanteaux of liberal + retard. Pretty uninspired tbh.

Low Energy: Donald Trump called Jeb Bush "low energy" throughout the course of the primaries, and now those who oppose Trump?who is high energy?are also tarred with that brush.

Participation Trophy: Usually wielded by an older individual, a reference to a participation trophy is meant as a slam on the perceived inherent entitlement of millennials and the left.

In 80s California, a task force gave kids from poor communities trophies to boost their self-esteem. Before long, T-ball leagues and elementary schools around the country were handing out golden prizes to everyone who participated in a particular activity.

What the participation trophy invoker fails to grasp is that the recipients never once asked for these baubles. Baby boomers were the ones who decided to hand them out to a bunch of kids who unenthusiastically accepted them before putting them on a shelf and never thinking about them again.

PC: Short for "politically correct" and a vestige of the last century, PC isn't used too much as a personal attack these days as it's been supplanted by the far snazzier "SJW." That said, "PC culture" is still bemoaned as the invisible shackles that prevent people from "telling it like it is" or using terminology others find offensive.

Regressive Left: The term was coined by British politician Maajid Nawaz as a label for those on the left who would jump at the chance to attack an idea or person for expressing an idea. Calling any challenge of Islamic beliefs as "Islamaphobia," in particular, is considered part and parcel with regressive lefties.

Agree with the sentiment or not, Nawaz presented his measured argument for the phrase reasonably and soberly. Naturally, all nuance has since been divorced from the term, and it is now indiscriminately used against any utterance of the left.

Safe Space: Recently, college student groups have set up "safe spaces" as refuges from debating hot-button issues. The right, wrongly insinuating that the "real world" has no such sanctuaries, has taken to using the term sarcastically or as a suggestion of where liberals ought to return to.

SJW: Short for "social justice warrior," what once was an insult reserved for those so itching for a morality fight that they'd be willing to attack those on their own side, is now just a catch all term for anyone opposing a conservative ideology.

Snowflake: The current blue-ribbon insult of the right, "snowflake" refers to the presumption that everyone on the left believes the world owes them something on account of their individuality.

Though plenty has been written on the fact that it?ahem?actually originated as an anti-abolitionist insult, the sentiment of the modern usage is 100 percent lifted from a Fight Club monologue containing the lines, "You are not special. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake."

Ironically, these insulters who fancy themselves sage Tyler Durden truth-tellers are often the same ones simply aghast at the actions of the Black Bloc.

Trigger/ed: When sharing stories containing references or descriptions of graphic content like rape, suicide, or other upsetting material, people often attach "trigger warnings." Meant as a courtesy to readers who might have lived through the described situation and might experience PTSD, anxiety, or general displeasure if forced to mentally relive the experience.

Insulters on the right co-opted the trigger warning for mocking usage if a lefty is upset about something, even if justifiably so.

Tolerant Left: Imagine enormous 128-pt quotation marks around the word tolerant here, and you'll best understand the right's sarcastic usage of this term, reparations for decades of being told THEY were the intolerant ones.


Tumblrina: A term relatively interchangeable with "SJW," Tumblrina is an insult aimed at young, alt-looking lefty women, as Tumblr is a social media platform containing multitudes of liberal-minded youngsters who can occasionally lay on the self-righteousness a little thick. That probably has more to do with kids being obnoxious than political ideology.

Lolz....

Trumpanzee -- Those that eat corn from Trump's poop, then ball what remains up, then toss the leftovers at anyone not cheering them on.

dumb libs love to conflate love of country with "dont mix races" its the dumb lib way of denigrating identity based on actually loving america.

liberals & soros dont want dumb libs to love their country. they want them to love their minority group & their historical struggle. that religion, PC, supercedes love of country. thats why you never saw tea party burn flags. just dumb libs burn the flag!

morons like linkster will even posts threads here, combining trumps use of the term "america first" with some race movement from the early 40s. these people are grasping at straws, hoping the mentally feeble buy into this bullshit that trump is summoning politics from the 40s today. rochard is a sucker for a good trump hate yarn!

dumb libs. the jig is up. voters saw through your race & sex hustling, elected trump. suck on it.

:1orglaugh

We only need one insult for them... cupcakes

Too many damn cupcakes and snowflakes, not enough webmasters.

Low energy betas...

I love how there are some conservatives out there who won't hesitate to call someone a snowflake because they think those people are over-sensitive are now boycotting Budweiser because their Super Bowl commercials dared to suggest the company was started by an immigrant.

8 more years, boys

In your dreams :stoned

nah, still a lot of people working around here. granted a lot of that goes on privately so the forum does appear to be slipping further into the pit of vapidity, hate and newspeak, as those peeps tend to be more prolific in their self-expression.

Pheer's block extension really helps clean out the clutter. for real, highly recommend it

What is funny, is I bet you don't understand this from the other side.

you hit on something really important here. I had no idea there was a boycott of budweiser beer, I had to do an internet search to find out about it

and what I found when I searched was this: important fourth estate institutions reporting that a bunch of people on twitter have created a hashtag in response to a superbowl commercial

this is news. that people are now talking about because it's in the news.

really?

I think social media is really important and absolutely has a role to play in social and political movements, but we need to be smart enough to know the difference between movements and issues and...noise

and we need to demand that our institutions of journalism, institutions essential for democracy to function ffs, make the same distinction. not doing so elevates the importance of the noise, far beyond what the content merits

a bunch of beer drinking, immigrant-hating, football lovers with twitter accounts are not the same as the Green Movement in Iran

Here's the problem. I believe I pointed this out before.

Getting fucked decade after decade, most people would start to vote differently. Why don't Americans?

This is the problem.

Voting Turnout Statistics
Voter Registration Statistics Data
Total number of Americans eligible to vote 218,959,000
Total number of Americans registered to vote 146,311,000
Total number of Americans who voted in the 2012 Presidential election 129,235,000
Percent of Americans who voted in the 2012 Presidential election 54.9 %

If they voted for people not doing what the wanted, they would get what they wanted.

What! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh yes i am sure people use it as a racial term... Jesus christ, why do they alwasy have to make everything racist? Even for a funny 'meme' like insult as cuck they over analyze until it's racist.

WTF another desperate, weird, out-there racist connection with something not racist at all :helpme

Some on the right see themselves as Red-pillers, [...] having so-called epiphanies about why the races should not mix.

I have never, ever heard of this, why? Why connect everything with racism? If you want to do that so bad, why not do it more obvious? Complete fantasy.

closing the paragraph with 'impotent misogyny', with mysogyny being another libster crybaby feminist insult, it painfully shows the agenda of the author.



I have read a few paragraphs and it's ridden with propaganda and things that are fantasies the author fabricated out of thin air (for example linking everything with racism).
I was hoping for a funny bit but this is written so people will share it (because the idea of defining these words is funny), but it's like a Trojan propaganda horse. People will read it expecting it to be funny but they will get torpedoed with propaganda instead.

almost like a bunch of children took viral catch phrases and applied it to politics

jesus christ :1orglaugh where did you find that one :1orglaugh

So what do you do in this industry?

Just asking because you have a political avatar and an apparently burning desire to disseminate political slang.

well - there are a bunch of people from the other site of the spectrum you could ask the same question tbh

Do you mean the political spectrum? Are you thinking OP is right wing trollery or left wing trollery?

He strikes me as right-leaning, although he implies he us left-leaning, as he goes out of his way to bring up topics like Clinton astroturfing. Plus, Obama is a good-looking man, but that would not be obvious from the unflattering avatar pic.

Anyway, I'm sure you'd be able to find sigless anonymous political posters of all major varieties who I've asked what they do for a living.

I'm happy to have water cooler talk with people in my business, but I don't know why anyone acts like all the fake nicks are okay hanging out at our water cooler.

Just a heads up. I got this from vice. I tried to post the link in the OP but it was too many characters so I said fuck it. Don't shoot the messenger.

I make money in this industry. Mostly selling traffic to brokers, selling upgrades and, to a lesser degree after being fucked so many times, sign-ups to a very select few of vetted programs. I specialize in the "urban" demographic and over 95% of my traffic is from the US. My main site is a very active "urban" based forum, so I know Eric's struggle but on a totally different level. If you know the "urban" demographic, you know they take pride in being "ballers" and like to spend just for the sake of looking like they got it like that. Hence why I make money in this industry. Sell forum ranks, sell private forums, sell hidden forums, plus they get 50% of every signup to those services via hidden referral program that can only be unlocked when you achieve a high post count. I'm a glorified culture vulture and give not a single fuck about it because it pays my bills, supports my fam and affords me a satisfying lifestyle. That's why I'm infamous at hustling this cyber shit. My traffic makes my content for me, actively and enthusiastically brings me more traffic and spends money... Plus I sell them. Win/win/win/win.

Wachu doin yo?

Vice is super liberal. Good content tho.

Hell yea, annoyingly so. But their documentaries and viceland shows are excellent.

Who in the blue hell are you?

I'm like kinda in the middle. I make fun of both sides for their shenanigans.

Back to the OP subject. Trolling Liberals.









Liberals in Sweden hate the truth so much they make it disappear.

Syrian rapist gets 2 months Jail Sentence Fake news or hidden news?

I don't know why Europe thinks America is as weak as them. Shit don't go down here the way it does out there. What's going on in Sweden or whatever other punk ass country out there ain't going to be the same results here. No comparing. Which is why y'all should just mind your business.

If you don't know - you're obviously just trolling :thumbsup

And how the hell did I get pulled into this conversation - some of the trolls here must really get butthurt when they see a conservative remind them of history - just so that they may learn from the mistakes of the past...but I guess that's a worthless enterprise so I'll get back to real work :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

If you don't know, you're not paying attention

Fair enough. Nobody making money in forums started in 2016, so I have a guess as to your old nick and not sure why you'd reg a new one, but, for once in one of these threads, you actually sound legit :thumbsup:thumbsup

My old one got banned for not being PC enough. Seriously. The good ol' boys can spew all the racial slurs they want, even manipulating them to bypass that weak ass "hahaha" filter. It's all good. But soon as a melonated man says "hey, what's up my n*gga?", It's an instapermaban. It is what it is.

We want our country back

Change Muslims for Mexicans and see the similarities.

Once a large number of low skilled, low paid people with an alien enter a country they form ghettos and become a problem. Not for the top 10% with their maids, gardeners, etc. Just the low skilled, low paid citizens of the country.

What percentile of prisoners or gangs are from such communities?

Making money sending traffic to brokers. Could be $10 a day or $20 an hour. Unlikely to be more.

Still ain't the same. You have no clue how America works. Most of America's prison population is good ol' white boys. Y'all dudes really are clueless when it's comes to this side of the planet.

Whatever it is, I am presently making money in this industry. What are you doin?

Like the Irish & Italian ghettos back in the day. But since it's people from a Muslim country or mexican it's automatically worse in your eyes, unfortunate.

Thats a VERY stubborn turd ! I do hope he manages to pull it out, so they both can enjoy it :thumbsup

Absolutely different today. If you can't see why beyond your racist beliefs, then I feel sorry for you.

But I know how to use Google.

PM me and I'll teach you.

Everyone knows who I am and what I did. Who are you?

I still make money selling content.
