      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)

      So yeah, when you say something inflammatory like "cancel culture is a way to make murder sound respectable", it's perfectly fair to ask "Who actually got murdered" It's what Uncle George would want (WWGD)

      Ha ha the hilarious thing is this is something Orwell literally went through He fought with the POUM (Workers' Party of Marxist Unification) in Spain, a Trotskyist org, which after they were defeated got smeared by both orthodox Communists and right-wingers as "wreckers"

      And he was like "If we were wreckers and bomb-throwers, what exactly did we wreck? What bombs were thrown? Show me your evidence because that's not how I remember it, it seems like you just make up abstract atrocities out of thin air whenever someone's politics discomfort you"

      I deleted a tweet and reposted it because it had a bunch of typos and Twitter has no edit button

      Also, that's a pretty wild rhetorical framing Acting like not killing someone is some kind of sinister, manipulative strategy to avoid censure for killing someone, by... not doing it

          "Cancelation" isn't a EUPHEMISM for murder if you don't actually murder the person It's just actually literally NOT MURDER The reason it's easier to "shrug off the severity" of someone being "canceled" vs someone being burned at the stake is it is A FACT that it is NOT SEVERE

          Your position here, that everyone fundamentally deserves to be listened to and taken seriously, and if you just stop doing that that's in the same moral category as murdering them, is absurd You won't state it directly because it sounds fucking ridiculous when you say it

          It's less of a big deal than if they do kill you, and saying that they did is, in fact, lying At least Orwell, who took a hard line against the irresponsible and lazy use of figurative language (especially repetitive clichés) in "Politics and the English Language", thought so
