Shitword

Shitwords are very shitty words, typically ones in wide use and perceived as positive when under closer inspection they're revealed to actually signify something evil. They may also be words that are overused, unnecessary, shifting focus on wrong concepts, being arbitrarily invented by crappy ideologies etc. Shitwords are bad in being misused, misleading, sustaining evil mentality and pushing harmful concepts; they're typically encountered in propaganda (usually spread without the speaker even realizing he is doing it). Nevertheless these words are part of practically all daily conversation in 21st century dystopia; currently the only place where they are correctly handled is this wiki. Note that these words must NOT be censored, for censorship is itself an evil that must never be practiced -- it is very important NOT to develop any form of newspeak like pseudoleft does -- this is not a blacklist but a wall of shame. Instead of "removing" words we must rather realize what they truly stand for, what harm they bring, and start to treat them accordingly. The difference here is the same as applying speech filters and censorship (wrong) and applying mindfulness to become better aware of what we previously ignored (correct).

Shitwords include the following:
