Don't get me wrong I understand the population at large have a rebranded version a lot of these terms, and it is futile to try and take them back. However, a lot of academics and people subscribing to that idea aren't going to change. So understanding how different groups use the term and what concept they're trying to describe, helps with they are actually trying to say.

Personally I have been digging into the 'why' behind people still argue something that to my understanding has no rational basis, found these disconnects between the use and what it was supposed to mean very interesting. Really just has shown me all news media regardless of bias has created a problem having to water down or modify a concept/story to be entertaining or click-able has distorted so much information
