     You arrived here as the mysterious Deepthroat Two, then you immediately told me that you work with CTV, informed me that your two exes were victims of the blasts, and laid out exactly what you'd do with the money we're giving you, so the moment either of those projects premiered, we'd have your name- not that we didn't have it already on account of you being the most loose-lipped deepthroater this shitlib state has ever seen.

     "George Shaw's contribution emphasizes the importance of undermining the "Newspeak" of the "Marxist social engineers," which the alt-right does in part by reappropriating language and creating neologisms like "Cuckservative," "Counter-Semite," and "shitlib," a term that refers to pseudo-intellectual liberal "wearers of pussy hats" who are "slovenly, perverted, mongrelized, devious, tantrum-prone buffoons and lunatics."
