No it's not James, it's not just a semantic issue, it's a real issue that has practical consequences. Introducing distinctions isn't just a philosophical parlour game. Otherwise we could say the diff between a conservative and a Nazi is just semantic.

I think you just have to accept that a term you use one way philosophically is used another way politically even if you really think it shouldn't be because that is the reality. The difference is semantic. We don't disagree with you about anything substantial.

I didn't name it that! Damore did because this is what it is called in a discourse separate to your philosophical one. There's very little use railing against the slippage and evolution of terms. You'll end up sounding like an old man yelling 'Gay means 'happy!"
