It's the same thing. When they say Lake America and SI it's short hand that they're drinking the kool-aid.
Also, it makes people not using those terms do so with a slight amount of caution. They don't necessarily want to be pooitical when talking about non political things and it creates a division by which word you choose. The point is to make people second guess the language they choose and be more careful about using normal safe language, so suppressing more radical language is a given.
