I don't think they are completely meaningless: Wikipedia manages to give a definition. However, I think they are often misused, misunderstood, and not very useful in practice.
- shmerl 8y agoWhich is to say, they are useless :)
- mindcrime 8y agoOK, to be fair, maybe I should have said "almost totally meaningless". But I still contend that they are terms that convey very little intrinsic meaning, and have become pejoratives more than anything else.
- incompatible 8y agoThey can be used as pejoratives once "extreme" is added.
