It reaches a point where you can't be sure what the word means. A criminal is someone who acts against the local government's will. No wait, it is possible to be convicted without doing any such thing. Once you are charged, the prosecutor considers it his job to get you convicted any way he can. Guilt or innocence has nothing to do with it. Perverse people often don't get charged with anything, perhaps because just being perverse is not against the local government's will. Robin Hood is famous for being a criminal without being perverse at all. Many people in police departments are very perverse without ever being called criminals.
This sort of confusion happens because people don't bother to keep track of what the words mean. I am often called a "libertarian" by people who can not explain what a libertarian is, but they insist that I am one. Those same people talk about "cult" without being able to describe what a cult is. (It is a meaningless insult for someone else's church.) They talk about "rule of law" but tolerate a government that refuses to follow its own laws.
These things follow a cycle and the cycle has repeated many times in the world's history. There is no cure: the cycle always goes to a collapse, and then repeats. Here is a free ebook analyzing the history: comingdarkage.blogspot.com/
