    If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is…

    A beautiful swan, because it calls itself a beautiful swan. Swanism sounds like a beautiful ideology. Not everyone you disagree with is a duck! You’ve overused the word duck so much it’s lost its meaning! Also the geese killed way more people than duckists could have ever dreamed of!

      Reminds me of a fun anecdote about Disney World.

      Execs had found out that disgruntled workers were referring to the theme part in less than flattering ways, so they sent out an email informing everyone that “referring to Disney World as Mauswitch is grounds for termination”.

      The next day, they switched to Duckau.
