"Freedumb" is not as benign as you think it is either. If you're aspiring to meaningful commentary rather than social media upvotes, I would advise avoiding both.

In my opinion the people who are deliberately destroying science and education should be prosecuted for literal textbook treason, not merely mocked.

These are the "fuck your feelings" people whose feelings you're worrying about.

		It's the feelings of uninformed people who don't yet know what's going on that I'm worrying about. Saying things like "libruls" and "freedumb" makes it harder to build the coalition which we'll need to prosecute the perpetrators.

		> who are deliberately destroying science... But this is subjective. What you call as "Science" might be pseudoscience for someone else. As an example, some decade back, following and trusting peer reviewed research was "scientific", but even back then I thought it was a stupid, unscientific thing to do. Today the problems with peer review process is pretty widely acknowledged. But back then I would have been considered unscientific to not fully trust peer reviewed research. People also used to say things like "Science is settled" and "Trust the experts", which is the most unscientific thing that one could possibly say. So since there is a lot of unscientific things that is being called "science" these days, I think this is very subjective.
