I found myself unconsciously drifting away from people who are mentally stuck behind the definition of words. I didn't realize what I was doing or why I was feeling safety in isolating myself for the longest time.
People who are so heavily invested in the definitions of words rarely have good intentions.
It never really made much sense to me. Words are all made up and are in constant change from one time period to the next. Each generation has their own words and what it means to them.
I think subconsciously I realized that people obessed with defining words were attempting to assert power or dominance over me or my interests. That's why I pushed back in my own way. By living a life that can't be defined and cutting those weirdos out of my life.
After a weirdo dies, what did all that time spent fighting about the definition of a word archive? Maybe we can ask Charlie.
Semantic post-truth gaslighting. It's a manipulation of words to steer thoughts away from resolving actions.
Fascist does fascist things, gets called a fascist, argues he can't be a fascist because he doesn't meet the criteria and he's actually the victim and you're abusing him. We don't speak the same language - our up is their down.
