This was from a comment waaaaay down-thread earlier this week, on a post about California Secession (a wedge issue backed by Russia). Thought you’d find it interesting.

Whether you like it or not, there is no point being a stickler for word meanings, that’s the point lol. When I was growing up in aughts, the word “ultimate” is plastered all over toys for boys. Everyone thought it means “super duper”, but in Greek it means “final”. Like, we’ve been using the word incorrectly all along?! What would the Greeks think?!
Who cares, words evolve all the time. I don’t really care about words changing meanings so long as it’s organic and bottom up, and not in authoritarian, top-down approach like in 1984.
You might be right.
That said, you are still sorely mistaken if you believe that software bots are not already excellent at being trolls and at scale
The human intervention is minimal, just need to point it at the right spot.
