Damn those social justice warriors and their new terminology!

Who mentioned twitter? And whilst I realise anything before the 1960s (or indeed anything before twitter) is ancient to some of you, 1932 is actually relatively recent. It had no objective meaning then. It had no objective meaning in the 60s when it was used against Enoch Powell (who nobody was ever able to define it to). And it has no objective meaning today. It, along with all the other "isms" and fake "phobias" of recent times is used exactly as I am pointing out the word "homophobia" is used.
