Okay but “leftism” is just a made-up word like “cromulent” and “hypothetical”.
I mean...if you want to be pedantic, and I always do, every word is made-up. That's how words work. Don't have a word for something? Make it up from nothing, or by smashing two or more words together (lookin at you my German fam 😘👉) or just borrow a word from a different language. That's literally just how words work. It's all made up.
So true. Or as William Burroughs said, “Language is a virus from outer space.”
yeah but "leftism" really embiggens the wordostrophe
You’ve really ponked on the big kamimbo there, no refutinating that.
