Well see now we get into language as it defines us in social contexts. At this point, “neoliberal” has next to no semantic value. It can mean whatever strikes you as unjust or shallow or even simply uncouth. You say neoliberal to be a person who says neoliberal.

Thats not her argument at all. She's saying the academic use could shift without the popular or vice versa. Or both could go in totally different directions. I think you're interpreting it as a bad faith argument because of your other idealogical disagreements with her.

I said bad faith because her argument didn't seem at all relevant to my claim there is a vernacular meaning in English which distinct from any German meaning or academic meaning. Bringing up a moot point is part of the bad faith here.
