George Orwell would have chuckled with bitter irony.
“Safety” has come to mean prohibition of any views that don’t strictly align with those of the authoritarian Left, and “kindness” has been perverted to mean aggressive censorship and vilification of anything that’s not rigidly PC.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they actually meant what they used to mean?
