>confident in what I’ve already stated

And what is that?

You’ve said I misunderstood your point; I am politely asking you to explain what your point is. If you don’t want to (or can’t) clarify, that’s fine.

I’ll tell you what; if you can competently and persuasively explain in one comment your argument and why you’re correct I’ll give you gold. Give me the best summary of your claims you can and if it genuinely makes sense I will admit error.

I would love some examples. Make sure they are actually completely meaningless, please

I’ll explain this to you as simply as possible:

Claiming a word has “lost all meaning” is the same as saying it’s meaningless. Both phrases indicate a lack of meaning.

I know you’d like me to do that but unlike you I can defend my opinion allllllll day. I’m home sick from work and I can continue to tell you why what you said was stupid until it actually gets through that thick little skull of yours

>use of the word rendering it meaningless

If a word is being used it can’t be meaningless; language is a series of symbols, no one uses meaningless words.

>renders the word meaningless

This is the crux of the matter; I think this is bullshit. It’s not “rendered meaningless” if we can all still define the goddamn word. This argument is bullshit.

The meme says “being a buzzword with no real meaning” and you listed words that should be added to that category. You did claim they had no real meaning.

Well, not “just like” since “homophobe” like “racist” and “bigot” are actually in the dictionary.

But thank you for affirming the word has not become meaningless

Why are you using a meaningless word? You said it was meaningless…

How am I changing the scope of the argument?

Can you define the word homophobe yes or no

Aren’t you also trying to change the definitions of words by claiming that words that do in fact have definitions are now “meaningless”.

>if you can’t see that

See what? People using words like “racist” correctly the majority of the time.

If they have clear definitions, your claim that they no longer have clear definitions is BS. That’s it, that’s all, you contradicted yourself.

And your lack of understanding doesn’t mean the words you’re using don’t have definitions lol

…this is a word salad. No one is a bigot for disagreeing with your claims, even if you can find one mouth breather who uses the term that way. No goalposts have been moved.

I’m starting to think what you actually meant was “I am dumb and don’t know the definition of these words so I assume it’s not important”

If you think those words don’t have clear definitions you’re just dumb

>when they tell you facts

You’ve not shared facts, you’ve shared an opinion and nobody is a bigot for not buying it lol
