    The only way to understand "the power of words" is in the context of Argot, without which, any reference to language is completely devoid of anything remotely close to [ useful ].
    Argot is defined by Victor Hugo as the "language of missery" which, understanding the importance of language and communication for absolute and precise scientific meaning I expanded to, "the language of acquisition as opposed to the language of exploration and curiosity. In the context of the latter, there is no problem with words.

      @@17th_Street_Preacher because of that reason exactly. They're so focused on generating views from being controversial and entertaining that instead of delivering the news they have become a mouth piece for fringe beliefs and right wing propaganda. Don't get me wrong all media outlets have their biases but their standpoint is actually endangering peoples health and THAT'S why they have been removed from CZcams.
