If they successfully debunked it you could say they refuted it.

People sometimes use the same word to mean simply arguing against something (whether successfully or not) but I think the correct word in that case would be repudiate.

Also, to be picky, if something is a fact, it can't really be debunked. If it is genuinely debunked then it was never really a fact, even if people previously believed that it was.

Another vote for ants, although that's partly because I'm a fan of the film Phase IV in which all ant species suddenly start cooperating with each other against humans.

The word "yclept," meaning "by the name of".

Oh, I see what you mean - I read it as OP criticising those progressive moves, but yeah, they might have meant it your way, fair point.

They look like they were designed by Fiat:

 

As nobody had set one up yet, I thought I'd just blue it myself and make somewhere for Reddfugees from /r/arresteddevelopment to congregate on Lemmy instead. Enjoy!
