I’m sorry if the need for common definition offends you. Yet, still the use of these terms by Republicans and Palestinian protestors seems the same to me, sorry.
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

I’m sorry if the need for common definition offends you. Yet, still the use of these terms by Republicans and Palestinian protestors seems the same to me, sorry.
To be clear, you don’t agree that nick fuentes is a nazi?

it’s completely dissimilar
