@gnu2 @ademan @feld @lain inevitably that attitude devolves into
Word => Thing good.
Otherword => Thing bad.
And propagandists pull the strings like it's Animal Farm.

Maybe the mRNA "vaccine" is really a vaccine, if we change the definition.
Maybe Pluto isn't a planet.
Maybe a recession isn't two consecutive quarters of negative growth.
Maybe rising prices across the board does not constitute inflation.
Maybe "radar ghosts" do constitute an act of war by the North Vietnamese against the USA, so we can go into the Vietnam War.
Maybe they didn't do Gain of Function research in Wuhan, they just did an identical thing, but it doesn't fit the definition.

It's very convenient for definitions to change over time, especially rapidly when it benefits a nation-state looking to justify a war.

Now I'm not saying the cannot naturally change as well, but what we're talking about is intentionally manufactured top-down.
