@StillIRise1963 I think a lot of people don't internalize the 'civilian' part of the term 'civilian deaths' as a word that describes them, too.
@depereo @StillIRise1963
I wonder what the shift to (US) media calling people consumers instead of citizens has had on that disconnect?
@Kalshann @depereo @StillIRise1963 I think the terminology shift was from "workers" to "consumers." Emphasizing that we depend on them to provide things to consume, rather than acknowledging that they depend on us to provide the labor we all need to survive
[edit: deleted an errant "them"]
@paprikapink @depereo @StillIRise1963
I stand corrected!
That has its own can of worms I can imagine.
@Kalshann @paprikapink @depereo @StillIRise1963 I seem to recall it was also mainstreamed around 07/08 for the financial crisis... showing how the economy "worked"... never saying that part about the workers though...
How odd, like they value one thing but not the other
