Kids invent new words for their current culture. They in no way organically invent words that are friendly to advertisers. You should be disgusted that corporations are now such an invasive species they are affecting the language our youth is inventing. This is poison. It is not at all normal.
It’s way worse. They don’t ban you and they don’t delete your content. TikTok ads don’t pay enough that demonetization is a concern either.
The algorithm just silently (!) deranks your content. They don’t have guidelines, they don’t have feedback, they will never communicate on what is and is not okay to post about. You’ll just say “Fuck ICE” in a video once and notice it is doing suspiciously worse than the rest, but then again, you’re never quite sure why some of your videos “make it” and some don’t. So maybe you’re being paranoid? You can’t tell.
So on top of the very real algorithmic censorship from these platforms, you’ve got very frequent bouts of mass psychosis where everyone self-censors for no other reason that other people are doing it and they don’t want to risk it. Is the word “dead” de-ranked? Quite likely not even, but who’s to say, and it doesn’t cost anything to farm a little engagement in the comments by self-censoring…
The transcription is almost correct all the way except for one part.
When he says, “Whoever needed it, they’re dead”.
The transcription reads, “Whoever needed it, they’re okay”.
because social media platforms will delete your content and ban you if you continue to talk about the “bad stuff”.
welcome to the dawn of the age of new speak. I heard a 13 year old kid last week say “unalive” instead of “kill”.
we’re so fucked.
If I post that list to all of the social media accounts I made before I realized that privacy is important, will they get deleted?
It’s to be advertiser friendly. All kids use new words. We did the same

Dude. Bro. Radical. Excellent. Tubular. Fleek. Ratchet.
Are not at all the same as:
Sewerslide. Unalive. Junocide.
Oligarchs are forcing kids to learn a new language that downplays the very suffering they are causing worldwide.
You should be furious, not apathetic. Or your kids will never learn the meaning of those words as they aren’t productive to the oligarchy.
Yeah I’ve got bigger hills to die on than language bro.
Seems pretty foundational to our species tbh.
language literally shapes your mind.
I can see your language took the shape of a walnut.
Nah just actually found people more cynical about the world than me for once.
Yeah, but your kids don’t which is my point.

Isn’t the future bright?
