Words have definitions. There are these things called dictionaries that people can find these definitions in. In super short context its a far right ideology brought to mainstream politics by notable figures like Pinochet, Ronald Reagan and Margret Thatcher. Later embraced by Bill Clinton during the neoliberal takeover of the democratic party at the time when they turned their backs on the unions and people in favor of corporations and bankers.

Right wingers love to redefine words to suit their feelings. Non good faith actors use tactics like this. Words have definitions. Doesn’t matter your feelings that you ascribe to them. Their definitions are not malleable. If someone starts their conversation with an already misleading premise they don’t deserve anything but the harshest truth.

Buddy, you have to be vaguely part of the conversation to troll effectively.
I know right, this trolling attempt is like watching a monkey try to fsck a football.
Can you, in a few words, sum up what you don’t agree with in the comment you’re replying to?
