    I mean, it’s been expanded to mean, amongst many other things “male aged 12 or older killed by American military in Middle Eastern country” over two DECADES ago!

    The age of the billionaire-owned media, politicians, cops, and politician-cops using that word responsibly died before most of Gen Z were even born.

      Yeah.

      I really roll my eyes whenever I hear it said now. It is meaningless and just a buzzword meant to make people clutch at their pearls or cheer when some poor innocent person gets killed, instead of fixing the system so that nobody wants to do such acts in the first place.
