Here’s an example from me
If you want to de-normalize a nation’s state/government, call them
spoiler
a regime
Other examples include: hospital --> loony bin
Edit: the more I think about it, the more I realize dysphemism are insults?
call social programs ‘entitlements’.
“Socialism turns out to work pretty well and is beating our ass” --> “Now, no one — certainly not me — is discounting the power of markets,” Sullivan noted at the time. “But in the name of oversimplified market efficiency, a large non-market economy had been integrated into the international economic order in a way that posed considerable challenges.”

“Despite the best that has been done by everyone […] the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage,”
Popularism seems to just mean offering something actually appealing to the electorate.
Populism typically means playing to the appetites of the electorate without any intent to actually benefit them. Empty promises are the heart of it.
Yeah but it’s used for things like Bernie wanting universal health care or Corbyn renationalising the railways. Which would benefit people.
So-so no Frieren (I actually think it’s goated, btw)
You’ll see a lot of dysphemisms in the 2____4u communities as well.
