Comment on Female tourist takes down phone-snatcher in Argentina
ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agothe equivocation between chaos and anarchy is a deliberate tactic to malign the philosophy.
if every time there was riots people yelled “there’s communism in the streets!” it wouldn’t change the meaning of the word.
throwing libertarian in there is just nuts so i see this going nowhere.

If enough people use a word to mean something different from what it used to mean, it literally does change the meaning, (e.g. radical meaning ‘connected to a plant’s roots,’ the reason people say ‘transwomen are real women.’ etc.) but fair enough. Have a nice day.

Anthropologists changed the meaning of gender to refer only to the societal role and not biological sex. Not just from people using it that way, but from scientists who study humans. They needed that word because many societies have gender roles that aren’t strictly tied to sex.
i will have a terrible day, you can’t tell me what to do.

Haha, it was a well-wishing, short for ‘I hope you have a nice day,’ not a command. Have a nice day.
