        It's fascinating seeing which groups find which insult to be the most terrible thing imaginable As if, by working for the government and/or a private corporation, everything I say would be suddenly wrong

        "Nanny-state", for example, is an insult used by those who think that government control is a bad thing regardless of the outcomes it confers

        "How dare you legislate motorcycle helmets, saving countless lives" They cry, their white, pasty fists shaking at the sky. "What about our FREEEEEEEDDDOOOOOMMMMSSS"pic.twitter.com/XKfXU1F73p

        Whereas the anti-vaxxers can think of nothing more evil than a pharma company. "Health is not for sale!" They yell, while hawking their naturopathic pseudo-medicines for $30 a pop

        In reality, the only one I particularly care about is: "You're demonstrably wrong. Here is substantive evidence against your point" It is astonishingly rare that this actually happens

        I'll occasionally get the first part, but I've so far had only one or two arguments backed up with actual data on these points that were interesting to argue
