Well, if you are Indonesian, I will call you by your "O" name. However, I just prefer a more descriptive name, since I cannot abide a self-congratulatory-I-am-clever Madison-Avenue-type play on words title for someone. It's just me. Don't worry about it.

How did the Nazis gain pre-eminence in namecalling, in your universe? I thought the British had the title for low down public condemnation with "name calling". I think they pride themselves in it. You didn't cite ONE EXAMPLE for the Nazis.

If my neighbors and friends are "on to something", I guess the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and almost every major newspaper are =really= onto something: Astrology. Every day, they print horoscopes. Man, they are really on to something.

Your one-word sloganeering (e.g. "Think!") is ironic in its lack of reasoning it is trying to produce. It is a "control by command" tactic, most common to 'proletarian revolution' sloganeering (e.g. "Bread!" in czarist Russia).
