    because social media platforms will delete your content and ban you if you continue to talk about the “bad stuff”.

    • death
    • murder
    • suicide
    • rape
    • guns
    • drugs

    welcome to the dawn of the age of new speak. I heard a 13 year old kid last week say “unalive” instead of “kill”.

    we’re so fucked.

        Kids invent new words for their current culture. They in no way organically invent words that are friendly to advertisers. You should be disgusted that corporations are now such an invasive species they are affecting the language our youth is inventing. This is poison. It is not at all normal.

        Dude. Bro. Radical. Excellent. Tubular. Fleek. Ratchet.

        Are not at all the same as:

        Sewerslide. Unalive. Junocide.

        Oligarchs are forcing kids to learn a new language that downplays the very suffering they are causing worldwide.

        You should be furious, not apathetic. Or your kids will never learn the meaning of those words as they aren’t productive to the oligarchy.
