Wow. It's hard to find such accidentally ironic sentence anywhere. Just
beautiful. Calling someone's claims "propaganda" is an exquisite piece
of "name-calling" in the effort to complain about "name-calling."

It's not about language; it's a clash of paradigms. The fact that people
get so upset about Wilson's adjective shows that it hits a paradigm vein
-- a religious clash. To demand that someone "just stop" using that term
("government") is just a subtle way of imposing one worldview to exclude
another.
