🔗 We are going to kill ‘unalive’
I am all for the steady evolution of language - as ever it has been. Not new is the constant flow of new words by younger people. You know what I mean ‘daddy cat’.
But this is definitely different and a wake-up call for any and all who are concerned about any stifling of speech - free or not.
The spread of censored and mangled syntax is happening because people believe, or have experienced, that platforms will silence them for accurately describing the world in plain language. This shit is terrible, and it has to stop.
