    If you are a history buff, read up on the aventine secession on Wikipedia.

    The TL;DR is that in 1924 Giacomo Matteotti, a member of the house of representative who was outspoken against Mussolini, was killed and no charges were brought forward. That even is what transition Italy from a semi-working democracy to a one-party dictatorship.

          I hate that people are starting to actually use these censor-bypass words in real life… makes adults sound like children!

            I remember a teacher on reddit saying children were literally saying unalive in class.

              People also say LOL instead of laughing. Kids are weird. I just hope it doesn’t go into the mainstream.

            So, kinda like how all slang and colloquial language sounds at first? Not like prefixes aren’t a part of our language either.

            Besides, there’s plenty of words that get changed or replaced because what society considers offensive changes.

            We don’t use “cripple”, “retard”, or many other words.

              I get what you’re saying, but in this case it just has this… dystopian corporate essence to it. Instead of getting off these shitty platforms that censor words and idea, people just find ways around the censors while still using the platform. Platform keeps making out like gangbusters, society gets dumbed down a little more. It kind of reminds me of what people in China have to do to talk shit about their govt without getting in trouble, which is… not the direction we should be going.

        I use swipe on my keyboard. It’s possible they do too and they meant to type murdered. The letters are pretty close.
