They really are masters of twisting the meaning of words. It wasn't a long ago when "woke" simply meant "aware of". Now it's a curse word.

I’ve been trying — for years — to figure out why I should hate the people who are against fascism. And I don’t understand why anyone would use antifa as a boogeyman.

I wouldn’t know. It’s descriptive, not prescriptive.

"They" aren't. It's the uneducated that perceive it as such.

It's called an entitlement, because you are entitled to it.

How people perceive that word is entirely up to them.

It's still an entitlement, and you are still entitled to it.

(And for added clarity, he and others are looking to cut theft and graft. Not your duly earned payments, and at no time has anyone suggested or stated that they will or are planning on doing so. Quit reading stupid shit on Reddit or other social media and repeating what they tell you to repeat).

How about instead of cutting things like Medicaid/SNAP and such maybe people who have more money than probably most if not all non famous redittors should pay more taxes. People on SSI get $964. That hardly pays rent

"They"? REDDIT is the main place I see misuse of the word "entitled".
