    I try my best to separate semantics from sociopolitical discussions because I think they muddy the issue far too much, but I wonder how much harm that does compared to good

      @tiffany I'd say it muddies up the issue as much as semantics would muddy science, or archaeology.

          @tiffany @awl Human expression is restrained to language, so they go hand in hand. There's no way to separate any topic from semantics, all you can do is use very specific words.

            @nerthos What about music, paintings, drawings, performance art? Human expression is restrained by the options they are offered.

              @adiwan I meant in discussing anything. It's really hard and impractical to try to discuss anything through those means.
