Oppobrium? Latifundium? Bellicose? Effete? Really? What the fuck is wrong with these people. These words are like paragraphs apart
Edit: just read the term “professional-cum-technocratic ethos” this shit is not normal and the author should be ashamed
Etymologically, bellicose and belligerent have an important distinction. The former is warlike by nature, the latter warlike in deed. Bellicose is what you’d call the faction you’re feuding with on the grounds that they’re just like that. Belligerent means you’re starting fights.
A belligerent drunk is someone who throws hands when they’ve had too many. A bellicose drunk is your uncle who has lots of ideas about geopolitics that only come out toward the end of the reunion party.
