Liberal being a dog whistle is equivalent to Anarchy being a dog whistle. If words lack meaning there is nothing to discuss.
Oh the word doesn't lack meaning, US people just verbally rape the word as a dog whistle.
I can agree that the current usage imparts more effort during conversation to establish a consensus of definitions. My hypothesis is that the effort for that establishment scales non-polynomially.
I wonder if there is research on how many people can walk away from a conversation with consensus of definitions. My guess is less than 20.
