We tried it. Didn’t catch on. Conservatives are just a helluva lot better at labeling.
I’m pissed about AnCap meaning anarcho-capitalist (feudalist, but too stupid to realize it), instead of Anti Capitalist.
Still can’t decide if arachno-capitalists would be better than anarcho-capitalists.
There’s a joke there about spinsters (women who supported themselves financially by making thread instead of by relying on a husband or their father), but I can’t make it cleanly.
There’s also this in German, which is a lot easier to make but feels a little cheaper: was weißt du über arachno-Kapitalisten? Die spinnen.
You could still claim AntCap
Which sounds like a nice hat for ants :))
And that’s why conservatives can’t make art, they’re all con artists
If “pro” is the opposite of “con”, then what is the opposite of “progress”?
Congress
Regress
Amish.
Fuckin’ neocons 🖕
Came here to mention “neocon”. 25 years ago “con” was heard a lot for “conservative”.
Pro is short for progressive…
Cat is short for catholic, though they are already cat-holics so 🤷
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/con#English
Etymology 10 (this word has got a ton of meanings)
I think in countries that have a party called the Conservative Party, “CON” is actually a common abbreviation? I seem to remember seeing that at least in relation to the UK.
So party members are called conmen?
