Oh god it's the person from the other thread.

1. Cambridge agrees with Oxford and me and the rest aren't credible sources. As Oxford and Cambridge say, reactionary is reacting to political change, not to exclusively left wing change.

2. I didn't call you names or say you were conceited.

3. More to the point: why are you responding on different threads? I clearly do not wish to communicate with you and the only reason I'm seeing this is because blocks don't work on mobile. Please stop.

> the rest aren't credible sources.

Besides your own personal beliefs as to who is biased and impartial, why?

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/react... Page says: "a person who is opposed to political or social change or new ideas: Reactionaries are preventing reforms. SMART Vocabulary: related words and phrases Custom, tradition & conformity Americanization anti-classical anti-conventional anti-institutional anti-traditional conventionalized conventionally crowd custom demi-monde multicultural multiculturalism multiculturally non-classical non-conservative ultra-conservatism ultra-conservative ultra-traditional unconventional unconventionally"

> not to exclusively left wing change

The above speaks for itself.

> 3. More to the point: why are you responding on different threads?

My post included: > I notice you're the same who mistakenly provided a simplified and thus incorrect definition of reactionary.

This isn't a good faith reading of my comment.

Final entry. Don't take either of our words for it. If interested in where reactionary comes from, any one can read about pivotal incidents like the Thermidorian Reaction via two good books going over the history of The Terror: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-french-revolutio... https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/terror-in-the-french-revolutio...
