We should overhaul language in general so that hurtful things simply cannot be said, and subversive ideas cannot be spread.

Imagine a world where hate is impossible to speak! It would be paradise, right?

Absolute control of language was a major part of “1984”, called Newspeak.

Why is it okay to judge “negative” words but not behavior?

Seems to be a certain character type that wants to eliminate words that truthfully describe obnoxious and/or destructive behavior. Demonize truthful words, then when that isn’t enough, vilify and destroy those who still dare speak the truth.

Must be a coincidence that she is one of Obama’s special friends.
