I recently re-met an old friend I hadn’t seen in ages. She’s a conservative, I’m an anarchist. She brought up “libtard.” I said “No, that’s for conservatives who can’t tell the differences among the left. Use shitlib, that’s the left criticising the corporatist quasi-left.”

Again, shitlib means someone who purports to be liberal, but holds illiberal positions & are really shitty at being liberal, hence the name shitlib. Most shitlibs call republicans “racists” “nazis” “fascists” without knowing any of them, it’s way more hyperbolic on that side.
