That's the least plausible slippery-slope argument I have heard this month.

And yet I can go to some TYT video or a DSA meeting and hear some dipshit lib say socialism is when the government does stuff IRL.

Hell, I can go find a few coworkers who say that too, and immediately follow it up with calling Kamala a communist and Biden a Maoist.

But I suppose that's A-okay with you since

That's just cosmetic stuff. Why care about what words people use?

As you're trying to make a link between [using neural nets to research plasma control for fusion] and [Biden is a Maoist], I have no.reason to take you seriously.

You're advocating for the dilution of linguistic terminology and making it so you can smear people who hate dogshit stolen art as people who hate medical science.

The only person who shouldn't be taken seriously is you.
