So what’s the end game here, literally remove the ability to say anything negative about anyone?

It’s inherently not kind to say “I don’t think you’re smart” but do we really want to eliminate being able to say that? Are we all just going to be 100% nice to each other all the time and only say kind things about others.

I don’t think so. People do bad and stupid shit all the time. We should be able to express that.

An overused phrase but this is quite literally 1984.

You’re not supposed to say 1984. During that year many harmful things happened to civilians in a city during a conflict and it reminds people of how terrible it was. Instead try to say “decades ago” so that way they don’t know what year your referring to and don’t get reminded of anything specific that happened in the specific year.
