Wtf is “hate speech”?

Look it up.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Look up “woke”, “liberal”, ”facism”

Or simply the evolution of “gay”

I know values and meanings that i have come to understand and relate to those respective words. But you wont find a definite definition online.

For every honest academic attempt there is a bad faith troll. Neither actually embodies a literary authority to enforce a meaning to words.

Language is an emergent construct based on human interactions, all of us that use words are maintaining that fickle construct it in real time. Good and bad actors alike.

You're reading too much into my "look it up". It was basically "I'm not wasting my time with your rhetorical question".

I'm aware of what you're explaining (semantic drift + polysemy), however neither is relevant here.
