Sometimes [[liberals]] try to give '''relativism''' credibility by citing the scientific [[theory of relativity]]. For example, [[Harvard]] Law School Professor [[Laurence Tribe]] argued that the [[theory of relativity]] justified finding a right to [[abortion]] in the [[U.S. Constitution]].<ref>L. Tribe, "The Curvature of Constitutional Space," Harv. L. Rev. (1989)</ref>

In a relativistic system, the definitions of words are malleable rather than fixed (see [[Orwell]]). Many liberals exploit this malleability to appropriate the [[means of discourse]], causing a word to lose its fixed meaning and instead be arbitrarily assigned a new meaning in keeping with the agenda of the appropriator. For example, the term "racist" once meant someone who discriminated against another based on their race. Due to relativist discourse appropriation, the term has been twisted to mean "one who oppresses other races simply by benefiting in a system that at some point was influenced by racism."
