The libs have finally learned a new word! Just like tankie it’s actually an old word that gets misused, but they have learned a new word! Looking forward to seeing it everywhere.
If you don’t believe me then check the modlog: This meme got removed for being “campist” 
They’re using it more and more
The point of my post was to say that the word has taken on the role that used to be carried by “tankie”. The actual meaning of the word is irrelevant, to libs it’s just an intellectual-sounding pejorative to describe ostensibly leftist people they dislike for daring to criticise US politicians or foreign policy. Just like how tankie was divorced from it’s actual meaning.
I just hope the next word is Trot or Ultra
Yeah, but the people in the comments “clarifying” it mostly aren’t getting it right. We both know it’ll never be “Trot,” especially since “campist” is a Trot term to start with. It probably won’t be Ultra either. There is a genuinely higher chance that the next term taken from leftist infighting would be “Revisionist” or something of the sort.
Revisionist or alarmist are both good bets.
I would die for seeing right wingers call each other revisionists.
Make an alt on lemmy.world. Start using it about us when we say correct things about the democrats. See it spread from there.
I’m not disagreeing with you. I was just noticing some people replying that they didn’t know what the word means. I would agree that the anti-US position is the correct position 95% of the time.
I believe that “ultra” has probably already reached the media-sphere. I’ve seen the word “ultra” used by liberals to describe socialists who are against participating in US electoralism. Also seen the phrase “purity test” used in a similar way.
“Trotskyist” would be funny but I think main stream media would view Trotskyism positively.
My bad, I thought you were explaining the concepts to me, even though you made it pretty clear you were responding to the vibe in the comments.
This is the verbiage version of the hantavirus cruise ship.
I think "“trot” could be seen as it’s own thing by libs though.
