If I had been writing for the dictionary, I would not have pulled a quote that mentioned a group that has a large number fragile people who feel like victims. I would have found another example. I truly mean that. If you know someone is hyper-sensitive, I think it's contemptible to trigger them on purpose.

Lol!

It's amazing all the things one learns at Galt's Gulch.

No, the pejorative "pussy" is meant in the female nether bits context. It implies much the same thing, weak/effeminate, as the more recent epithet, "girly-man".
Popular put-downs usually derive from simple words, not a high-falutin' word like pusillanimous. You wouldn't find much linguistic flow from pygian aperture transforming into a-hole.
"Pussy" (body part) derives from the furry thing to pet context of "pussy cat," which has ancient origins from "Pshta," a Babylonian cat goddess.

Yep yep yep yep yep. I am thinking along those lines. AOC and her lot did not come out of nowhere. I think they are more like sleepers and have been activated. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but in a sense they are being activated. All of that leftist schooling and all of the leftists finally in the right positions of power, and now it is time to unleash the nutty youth upon us.

Textbook example of playing the long game. Most kids are online addicts, if this is what you see from the time you can read and you have no urge to verify it, your mind is unchangeable. That` s the goal. It is what makes national media and the communists a very real threat.

IMHO, the word "progressive" in contemporary political terms is just another word for "Marxist". Therefore, if you re-read AJ's post, the definition of "liberal" has a more correct meaning such as the line "...noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform." would be properly interpreted as "...noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of Marxist political reform."

Following up on that, any politician boasting to be a progressive is simply admitting to being a Marxist.

Yes, the progressives want to redefine the language to their advantage, but two can play that game!

Greetings all,
Merriam-Webster's dictionary on my phone is a bit more forgiving.

The third definition is, "not liking or accepting changes or new ideas".

The first definition cites maintaining traditional values. In my opinion both are utter nonsense.

Conservatives can be as, or more likely, more forward-thinking than any of the so-called "Progressives". There are too many examples to mention them here though you get the idea.

AOC and company are looking forward to the return of the sixth century, or earlier.

Buy candles stock. Now!!!

Also, their site appears to be pushing more than one sex/gender. lol I have a screenshot but can't add it to this post, since I'm not a producer. Here is the url anyway: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/con...

Agreed. I just checked wayback (https://web.archive.org/) and that page is only archived back to 2016: https://web.archive.org/web/201604152...

I'm mostly curious as to when dictionary(dot)com changed the definition of these words. Of course dot.com has only been around a short time, maybe they didn't change, or maybe they are trying to create change. Even definitions of our words are becoming strictly political.

Under the definition they show for a "conservative" I guess I'll just have to find a new word to describe myself.

I wondered the same! Makes sense doesn't it?

Is this where calling someone a "pussy" came from? As in not a "vagina?"

The interesting part was the example in the image, as stated.

It's an SAT word. Not one that I tend to use regularly, but one that is recognizable in prose.

I was hoping for something unusually humorous in the link, but it's just a definition, as expected.

I hated to do it, but I went to their site to check to see what liberal said after reading your comment. lol Liberals are so darned cool!! ha what a bunch of bs...

No, they never replied to the email I sent. In fairness I only waited a few days before moving on. I just looked, it's less targeted now and more reasonably descriptive. Maybe someone at http://Dictonary.com got a clue.

Conversely:
"liberal

@AJAshinoff WOW, pretty blantant. Did dictionary dot com respond? Just curious. I know that they won't change their politics from a few emails.

For a while, when I was writing, I used Dictionary.com regularly. Curiosity compelled me to lookup the word "conservative" only to discover it to be defined as stuck in the past, resistant to change, counter to progress, regressive, etc. There was nothing about saving for or preserving anything.

I wrote to Dictionary.com, uninstalled their search bar, and began using thefreedictionary.com instead.

I actually emailed them with a straight face. I'll update if I get a response.
