This is pissing me the fuck off.
So let me make this utterly clear - henceforth any news article title that is erroneously using “deport” must be re-titled to use “exile” at the very least.
I’ll do my part by editing the titles for any newsbot postings since that’s all automated.
Language is important, deport has a very specific meaning. You cannot deport a citizen to a different country. The word the media seems to have difficulty using is “Exile” and “Salvadoran Death Camp”.
So, I, as server admin will do it for them - because I’m not a fucking spineless coward.
Even for the non-citizens, deportation means they have gone through immigration court. These non citizens are not getting to go through court
This is an excellent point. Perhaps my directive should be a little broader. I didn’t really consider that facet!
I don’t remember the correct term, I want to say “renditioned” but I’m only 40% sure.
Please also replace decimate with devastate. Folks seem to have issues with that as well
Totally get you on that one. Fortunately, usually when someone misuses one of those it’s easy to figure out what they meant.
That being said, constantly using the word deport for illegally disappearing a citizen is far more egregious of a failure than mistaking decimate with devastate.
