While I said I don’t want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn’t find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.

    That said, if you’re not comfortable with using them “clown/clownish” is a good substitute as no one was ever born a clown.

    “Clown” always throws up a red flag because I’ve seen so many fascists using it. I don’t know why but I assume it came from 4chan using it euphemistically as a slur and other fascists not in the loop picking up the habit of using it as a generic word for something bad.
