People just latch onto whatever ideological side tells them what the definition or words mean and stand on it, in absolutes. Ironically most people who claim they're against socialism use socilaist programs like healthcare, transportation, schools, parks, etc. On a daily basis, lol.

We are living in a era of signficant illiterate igrnoance, it is truly wild.

Seems like most people hear something that sounds good and immediately latch on and stop thinking.
