@gnu2 @feld @lain @Moon @ademan the problem is that cedes the ground to the liars, and then they'll lie about "freed markets", repeating the cycle. Except since they didn't encounter resistance, it'll become easier for their Pavlovian word-association game to stick, and they won't be regarded as liars.

There's a certain element of "pick your battles", but the very situation of words being redefined at will and people just going along with it, is insane and untenable. If you just play their game and go along with it, you'll retreat until you're driven into the sea. Which is their goal: banning people from social media just doesn't seem to make them disappear, they need to be banned from real life.

Liars must not prevail. "Journalists" who support these lies should be regarded similarly to the tobacco executives lying to congress saying cigarettes are not addictive.
