>because at the end of the day it's just an endless semantic treadmill. Not quite. Historically there is a very, very specific definition. >My definition is what matters to me. And there is the problem and why people cannot simply disagree anymore. It is "my platform" that matters to me, "my worldview only" that matters to me, "my money" that matters to me. That's all well and good, but there are also other people in the world and their definitions are gonna matter just as much to them as yours does to you (or money) (or platform). As to the rest of what you are saying here, I have some strong opinions on the subjects you raise, but now is neither the place nor time to indulge those. I will say that a person ought to go live among the people they feel the most sympathy for for awhile to make sure their ideals are true to reality. Most people don't do that.
