Banning words, spoken or written, that do not perfectly match the authoritarian's handbook.

It's already begun with: With Don't Say Gay. Followed by Woke, Equity, Multiculturalism, Inclusivity, Sexism, Racism, White Supremacy, etc., etc.

Dictionaries will be very thin when it's over, language reduced to grunts.

Happy Days!
