So it's very politically loaded then, and indeed nasty, insofar as it derides opponents by implicitly attributing speech defects or physical infirmity to them. Another analogue in English might be "librulz" or, perhaps even closer, the form "wacist" which is used in mockery by racists when they accuse anti-racists of being too prone to complain of "wacism". | |
