You can tell you are older because you still use ideas from the past. In 2015, Words mean what their speaker says or better, ‘intends’ them to mean. This eliminates the possibility of lying. And since Liberals cannot lie by this standard, they are better people that stick outmoded ‘definitions’. Because people that use definitions like conservatives are bad people.

But don’t be too worried about it. If your seat in reeducation camp gets filled before your arrival, you’ll be made carbon neutral. Because liberals are good people.

Probably. I never did get that “I lied to my journal” thing.

It's nothing new. Here's a quote from 1871:

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

--Lewis Carroll, "Through The Looking-Glass"
