  I think I side with Slavoj Žižek here. When I become dictator and send you to Gulag you can have two servings per day of rotten fish-head soup, because I like you!. And I promise not to call you names. -------------- It's a massive distraction. GitHub, and / or whatever other organisation, deplatforming words will have approximately zero effect. I'm willing to conjecture that while we are busy patting ourselves on the back for reducing the use of word combinations like master / slave another death in custody will occur. And in that way it's a distraction while the harm continues. It's a distraction while the powerful continue to not immediately retrain the police en masse to not deal with everything by a progression of escalating violence.
