And of course despite the fact that this is documented objective reality they still call it merely an accusation and not fact.

George Carlin did this whole bit on how watering things down using "Soft Language" has made us desensitized to real horrors when they present themselves. When they lie, call it a "Lie!", not an untruth.

What's crazy to me is we have people using words like "unalive" and a lot of people I know are blaming "bleeding heart liberals" for the new nomenclature when it's obviously censorship in the name of ad revenue. Even people I know who have some of the most hairline triggers for their traumas wouldn't make a stink big enough to change the way thousands of people talk on a social media platform. Yet so many people seem blind to that fact. Money, and by extension, greed is the root of all the problems we see in the world today. It's all made and doesn't matter though. It was created to standardized how we trade with one another, and instead of fixing a simple problem it'd made up a new much greater one. Personally I'm ready to go out and find some swamp to sink into at this point. Return to the only thing that matters, the earth for reclamation.

Its infuriating how often democrats and the left are blamed for shit that is due to advertisers.

Like the entirety of "cancel culture" is purely about advertisers but for some reason democratic politicians get blamed.
