Intrigued by how important naming is.
When Mao was destroying ancient Chinese culture & massascring millions, he named it: The Great Leap forward & The Cultural Revolution. When Lenin captured power, it was the Bolshevik Revolution.
The opponents are intolerant fascists, supremacists, <adjective> nationalists.
Consider this: The Persecuted Religious Minorities Act. How would someone look if they protested against it? Instead, call it Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) or the Lautenberg Act (in USA). How banal.
Given the effectiveness of name-calling, looks like our human brains haven't developed beyond elementary school name-calling & bullying & glaze over facts & details.
Also shows how important naming & branding is for businesses & products.
