Words matter.

You aren't writing an academic paper. Always use simple direct language.

  • Help the poor
  • Healthcare for everyone
  • Good treatment at work.

Don't use complex words.

Propaganda works

I’ve always said that if you really wanted communism or socialism to take off in the states you’re gonna have to call it something else

I also don’t use cis because the machine has already made that a thing people don’t want to be called

This one gets it. The key takeaway should be that humans are very fallible and propaganda works alarmingly well.

Not being too sarcastic, but what makes you think we'd be interested in a backwater planet full of hairless great apes?
