None of that is in the comment you replied to.

Like I said, the person I am talking to is not what people think of when they think of ‘prepper.’ Maybe it’s not fair that the word means something different than it should to most people, but that’s just how language works. ‘Woke’ no longer means being aware of inherent racial injustices. ‘Liberal’ no longer has anything to do with classical liberalism.

You're kind of proving my point. You're trying really hard to defend a word that no longer means to people what you want it to mean. The language has moved on.
