No Shared Definitions

The naked, shameless neoliberalism of this:

Neoliberals like Obama have the same definition for many things, including citizenship and sex. They define a concept as absolutely anything except the actual thing. This “every way of being American” that Obama references excludes the only actual way of being American.

Reality is diluted into volitional content. Once there are no shared definitions of even the most basic things, our common public space becomes a war zone where people with the most power get to impose their definitions on everybody else.

People support this setup because, against all evidence, they believe that their faction will be able to bully everybody into adopting their definitions.
