It's a classic debatebro tactic. Making things about semantics makes it basically entirely subjective and completely pointless.
I used to do this thing where I'd predict their behaviour before they did something and it'd usually shut them down. It's only something that should be done with people arguing in obvious bad faith, but still.

I've joked elsewhere about making a flowchart, but I do seriously think it'd be a useful tool to make users realise how much of their thoughts are just deeply ingrained propaganda

Agreed! It's constant and doesn't actually say anything. I don't take issue with imperialism because of its name, but because of its real world causes and effects!

You have the patience of a saint, I could never do what you do. You also have a wealth of knowledge. o7 to you for all your hard work

That's too much, I'm just a former libbed-up debatebro that's trying to put an addiction to a better use. I appreciate the kind words though, comrade!
