Examples that come to mind:

  • saying your favorite video game is Disco Elysium
  • saying your favorite TV show is Star Trek DS9

The two rules are that:

  1. It has to be to do with a category that is socially acceptable to talk about with most people in a casual setting. So no politics or philosophy.
  2. Nothing too on the nose, ex, no “I love the music of the Red Army Choir” or something.

    We have our own lexicon that makes it’s obvious if we don’t carefully modulate your own patterns of speech.

    Capital workers imperialism empire labor electoralism exploitation owner class bourgeoisie proletarian etc etc.

    It’s not that nobody else uses these words but we use them to describe things that liberals use other terms for. They prefer words that normalize capitalism and have been normalized by capitalism. They don’t call their own country an empire (generally speaking) or call their boss part of the owner class.
