This is my thread and I don't mind at all if he continues to explain the virtues of the Austrian model in it.

I don't think that... "If you post it, they will come.
Besides zappa, of course.

“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

The OP's thread is important because it shows how problematic it can be when asshats hijack the meaning of words.
It is downright Orwellian.
I have noticed a similar issue with the definition of inflation/deflation. Inflation/deflation used to be (explicitly) monetary terms that dealt with the size of the money supply (increase/decrease).
It now is used to also describe rising or falling prices.
This confuses people and prevents them from understanding the causation of the business cycle which is primarily the creation of new money!
Perhaps this is why I encounter much opposition when explaining something as simple as the boom/bust business cycle (the "redefining" of inflation/deflation).
Today a "liberal" is a statist/borderline socialist who is all about big government and the welfare state. W.T.F. happened!?!
