the first result is the wikipedia article, which as we've discussed, is several thousand words long

i'm not trying to justify my use of language, i'm explaining why you're wrong, and you're responding by gesturing vaguely towards the concept of a dictionary

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (6 children)

you're not avoiding excessive detail in a definition due to a limited character space, you're saying that a word can literally only ever have the precise meaning ascribed to it by the dictionary

those are two completely different things and it's astonishing that you would even try to make an argument that bad after opening this discussion with "i'm sure you can do better than that"

doubling down on the stance of not understanding linguistics isn't the play you seem to think it is

the wikipedia article on zionism is several thousand words long, and you seem to think it's possible to accurately boil that down to a one or two sentence dictionary entry

I’m sure Republicans have many definitions for a liberal.

it's more that they don't have a definition at all

they use it similarly to "woke", in that its a nebulous word that takes on any given meaning that they want given the context

if you tried to distill its myriad of uses into an actual definition you'd get something like "person i disagree with to the point of dislike", at which point the dumb part becomes making an assertion as utterly vacuous as "i don't like people i don't like"

it's completely dissimilar

"liberal" is significantly less specific in its implications, both in terms of modern day parlance and historical roots, than "zionist"

i like the concept of hiring other gooners to have a big sweaty circlejerk with

Redfalls team is done for sure.

which is wild, because there's clearly a lot of talent there that was just spunked up the wall trying to create a game that any idiot could see right from the outset was conceptually awful

and my point is that it's not going to change unless people attempt to change it

it's literally the same argument that gets wheeled out any time there's pressure for social change, then when things finally change we all look back in 10 years and ask ourselves how the hell we ever tolerated the old way of doing things

if you want to vote biden because you think the short term benefits of avoiding trump for another 4 years outweigh the long term drawbacks of further entrenching the same status quo that led to palestine, fine

just don't pretend that you never had any choice in the matter
