insurgent as vocabulary where? what discipline? profession? social movement literature? as social movement participants use them? media?
state's rights? out of context, i don't understand how to is jargon.
what is id, ego, superego an example of? properly used technical language or obfuscatory jargon.
as for JK - i have no clue what that would be a problem - to distinguish. could you explain please?
I am reminded of the complaint, here, during a reading of Judith Butler. Max Sawicky complained that she used subject instead of just using self. I understood the complaint but I didn't see anything wrong with using subject to signal a completely different theoretical assumption about the phenom that simply isn't capture by "self".
