Yeah, cause that's how words work.
You know what, I deserve this conversation. I've trolled people with "It can't be imperialism because we're a republic" before, this is just karma.
On the off chance that you're not just trolling, no, it isn't, because your definition sucks and is deliberately limited so you can be a pedantic yet incorrect twat about some of history's greatest crimes.
No I'm not being a troll. And it's not my definition, it's the actual meaning of the word. Words - especially when used in emotionally charged contexts - have meaning and when they are misused to make a nice little sound bite, it dilutes the power they have. I don't like when people do that.
