Get the Facts!mug. Commonly referred to as “fact-checkers,” fact-chokers are hirelings contracted by Ministry of Truth tentacles such as the Trusted News Initiative (TNI) to “debunk” facts that threaten regime narratives.
Coined by Margaret Anna Alice in response to a November 18, 2021, el gato malo Substack post requesting ideas for a new name for “fact check,” the term has since appeared in numerous pieces at the Margaret Anna Alice Through the Looking Glass Substack.

To reveal the Orwellian nature of this totalitarian tool of mind control, “fact-choker,” “fact-choking,” and “fact-choke” should be substituted wherever references to “fact-checker,” “fact-checking,” and “fact-check” appear.

Get the fact-chokermug. Someone who is oversensitive to facts, especially when it does not conform to their current beliefs. It's usually a close-minded person too proud or stubborn to admit when they are wrong or when someone they admire is wrong. In debates it's commonly accompanied by talking over the other person or as loud as possible to stop the flow of facts.
As a religious man, Bob went against the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community by refuting evolution on national TV in spite of all the facts. Bob interrupted by quoting scripture as the scientist tried to explain radiometric dating. Bob must have fact allergy.
