There is definitely such a thing as jobs that take lots of book learning and tests to get, and jobs anyone can get by applying for them. This semantic fight of "No such thing as unskilled labor" is just going to make people call it something new and politically correct, but it won't change reality.

    Which are the people who are dominating culture and language, who carry the power to fulfill your prediction?

    How do such distinctions and constructs originally emerge, and why do they remain entrenched?

    Goalpost moving. You can't defend the redefining of the word so you attack the people who did define it.

    Straw man attack.

    Ad-hominem appeal to motive.

    I have not advocated for a definition being imposed.

    I have encouraged critical inquiry over the emergence and entrenchment of terms and constructs.

    You don't know what those terms mean.

    Go encourage the next person who makes the mistake of being polite to you.
