Ok, that’s nice words, but what you just said was that bandwagon is case-by-case but that the principle still applies, so back to my question, what qualifies, in this case, a bandwagon? What histories do people have to have with the 71st to exclude them from the title of “bandwagoner?” Either give criteria or everything is a bandwagon
You can't put a criteria on bandwagoning that's not how it works, and if I gave a criteria you could just say "oh you decide who's a bandwagon now?"
Well, if you refuse to give criteria, then nothing you say about bandwagoning is in any way legitimate, and makes the term devoid of meaning. Because you have no criteria, every regiment, and yet none at the same time, are and were bandwagons.
For words to have meaning, they need to mean something, so if you refuse to identify what you believe bandwagons to be, bandwagon means nothing. If you give criteria I can respect that, even if I disagree with the criteria. It’s like calling me sexist and not saying why. You need criteria for what you say
