    James is ABSOLUTELY correct to ask this man to define the terms he’s using. There’s absolutely no point having a discussion with someone if they’re using words in a different way than you might understand them.
    Too many times I’ve seen Americans use the term “socialism” to describe things like “free healthcare”....

      Well in a literal sense it is a social(ist) policy to provide ''free'' healthcare, to have a welfare system. Its just that the umbrella term ''socialism'' has a lot more implications than most people know. Welfare/healthcare being just one of the many points that are socialist ideals. You can have socialist policies without going full blown socialist, you can order some of the items on the menu without having to order everything else thats on offer.

    • @popydev

      Well, free healthcare is a socialist policy, because it's basically a socialized healthcare, same way almost all countries around the world have a socialized army, police, justice, infrastructure, etc.

    Everyone seems to be taking issue with O'Brien in the comments. He can be a bit annoying keep interrupting, but if you are going to start using terms like cultural Marxism, you need to show you understand what they mean. People think that they can just have any opinion they want and not have to justify it. If you want a debate you need to intellectually engage. If you can't be bothered to read books and learn don't get angry with those that make the effort to.

If you ask them what they mean, or what the terms mean, or what support they have for any of it, they look at you like you are crazy. They've been convinced that someone there at Fox News must know what they are talking about, or they wouldn't be listing all those buzz words every evening.

      This is called a "Gish Gallop", a bad-faith debating technique with a long history. Named after a man called Gish, it's about exploiting the fact that it's easier to lie than to debunk lies by "galloping" from one bad-faith argument to the next until your opponent simply has too many lies to address in the time allotted. It's a method of sneaking disinformation out to the audience unchallenged, and James is very correct to not allow it to happen on his show.
