Please give me a complete list of people who, after being described on Twitter as "problematic" or "canceled", were then physically killed by agents of the state

I suggest you read Orwell beyond 1984 to see what I am getting at. The quote is from Politics and the English Language.

Yes, and when Orwell said "murder", he presumably meant "murder", as in physically attacking someone's body in some way so that they cease to live and become a corpse Since the point of that article was ranting about literal precision in language

Well, Orwell, in his famous essay "Politics and the English Language", said it was very important for people to clearly say what they actually mean instead of burying everything in dishonest rhetoric (especially rhetoric built on thoughtless clichés)

Yeah if you think I'm using euphemism then you should be able to translate the euphemism right "He wasn't processed and detained, he was locked in a cell and beaten This wasn't urban renewal, this was a bunch of people being evicted so they could build a mall" Etc

This is the opposite of that You aren't translating the word "cancel" to reveal the horrifying reality beneath You LIKE the word "cancel", you use it ALL THE TIME, it's a preferred *dys*phemism for you guys

Because you know if you actually specifically give details about what "cancelation" means it makes you sound like a tremendously whiny little shit "I said something that made people mad on Twitter and they kept replying to me so I had to turn off my phone"
