In the classic American literature series Harry Potter, the word Voldemort is made into a literal "shibboleth" - a word so stigmatized that its use becomes something feared, lest consequences follow the usage. But in a genius twist characteristic of Rowling's brilliance in constructing Trolley-problem-esque philosophical issues, the word Voldemort actually is imbued with magickal power - letting the villain of the same name peer into the world of the speaker, and, if he so chooses, appear. In this way the word Voldemort and the threat Voldemort become one and the same, leading us to ponder: might censorship make some kind of sense, where the invocation itself is also a form of damage? One needs not stretch too far to apply this to case of the "n-word," the very use of which causes unbearable psychic pain to all who hear it...

That's "taboo", idiot. "Shibboleth" is an entirely different thing.

In primary school I learned that cunt was the worst word in the world, but they acknowledged the existence of that one. I discovered that cunt is nothing but a diversion; they want you to think the struggle is between the sexes at a young age so that everyone can be divided and pushed into a MArxist view of class war.
No, the real struggle is and has always been between the races. This is why NIGGER is truly the worst word you can say in the current climate. It is also the first word that pops into the head when asked to think of something taboo, or, indeed, to think of anything at all. By trying to subdue the racial struggle they have given the race-ists the ultimate weapon in fighting them: a word so strong it directly relates to race and can cause the complete destruction of the user's life when used. The ultimate evidence.

Well it's true according to their logic. If Wagner can be cancelled don't be surprised if they start going after other composers.
Might actually be good if this 'happened', maybe then conservatives would get off their ass and pick a side. Sooner or later people will have to recognize that anti-Germanism has been extended to anything European.
