[$2 Hero]

I missed the memo.

Because certain words can get your content demonetized from Youtube, so Youtubers are using "unalive" instead of "kill", and Youtubers kinda set trends, so the word picked up.

Great... more edgelord behaviour.

He had me until he started blaming white people. Lol I guess there a was a reason he was always on TV and never censored. Literally part of the machine.

"Dead" Banned in movies and STO too. They say we will "STOP" you instead of Kill you.
SICK IN THE HEAD !

[Crusader (Banned13x)]

"Deleted"

Edit: The wonderful world of censorship.

it hasn't been added to the list of banned words yet, and mentioning that there is a list dings your social credit score.

But that´s also political talk. They usually try to say that they would find certain solutions for given problems, instead of saying that they don´t care if whole families drown in some waters, and they feel sad that they couldn´t see the people dying from a closer distance. Sounds better, like more thoughtful and responsible. Usually few politicians would say that they would like to see many people get shot at the border. "To stop them" sounds far better. Or "to prevent them from crossing the border", when usually "by any means possible" could mean everything. Landmines for example.


Topic:

But "un-alive" sounds really bad. Ridiculous at best. Like satire. Actually political talk sounds like satire as well, but this is not a fun word to say. "un-alive" - one could better do the opposite and call the living undead. Given the amount of time spent dead compared to time spent alive it would be the more fitting term. And it´s way more fun.

True, but without the military in full 'body' on the borders that's not going to be accomplished either. Just more promises unfulfilled, 2024 is a Selection Populus year.

Whats funny is it doesn't change anything or make the issue better. Soon "unalive" will carry the same dreaded meaning and will be used in normal conversation.

When I was in elementary school "handicapped" was the preferred word to refer to disabled people instead of teh r-word, which was considered highly offensive.

By the time I reached high school, "handicapped" had become an offensive word and people started to use "handicapable" instead.

The word itself isn't what has the power, it's the meaning of the word. You can change the word to anything you want, but if you're using it to refer to a class of people who are less functional than the rest of society, that word will carry a stigma no matter what.

Same with "dead" and "unalive"

It's honestly depressing to see a society that claims to embrace free speech, engage in meaningless acts of self-censorship.

Funny "unalive" brings us closer to the language system used in the book 1984 because they tried to remove all words with a undesirable context in that book, and if anyone wanted to talk about the opposite they would just add "un" to the front of it.

It's not a coincidence that people who support these things also like to make up fake "identities" in their heads and project their ideas onto everything, whether it is actually there or not. They don't live in the real world but a fictional one, consisting entirely of words, ideas and theories. That's why they need validation so much, because all of these things are unreal and will start to fall apart whenever they don't get reaffirmed.
