We all know that the west uses two different words for the same thing depending on where it is happening.

e.g. Secret Police vs Plainclothes Officer
Regime vs Government

Can we have a compilation thread of these words? I am probably using many of them unconsciously without critical examination.

      Basic not based, this reads like iam14andthisisdeep.

      Lemmy got interesting for all of 5 days and now this low effort content is at the top again.

        Check out this loser who thinks comparing systemic euphemisms and dysphemisms is "cringe." Like that doesn't even make sense. Your criticism is that it's "like 14andthisisdeep"? It's not meant to be "deep," dumbass. Either you don't understand what's happening here, or you don't like that some of these examples of commonly used double standards of language point out the hypocrisy of your favorite boots to lick.

        Either way, your response to it is to call it "cringe" and you don't even catch the irony of that. You call a casual but interesting observation that can be expanded on with more examples (that everyone else is enjoying adding to the list) "low effort" and "uninteresting." I might say some cliche like "sorry this content doesn't meet the standards of your superior intellect," what with that brain you have which is ever so smart. You know how whining and arrogant you sound? That is what's cringe here, lol. You're not bored or concerned with quality, you're indignant and pouty.

        Go back to reddit. You'd fit right in with your fellow big-brained sycophants.
