Words brought into English can use English pluralisations, so you're not wrong if you say octopuses. I think Grammar Girl had a take on this maybe 7 or even 8 years ago by now. These days, I can't see myself getting worked up about it for the sheer fun of being pedantic like I used to.

We're well past it meaning anything. These rebukes, reprimands, and censures are political theater. Fascists laugh when you use the rigged system against them.

I think you already know the reason is money. Exploiting others isn't demonized, it's celebrated as "innovative" and "clever" and "entrepreneurial spirit." That is the system, held up, and propagandized by, the exploiters. We're taught that violent protest is "uncivil" or "barbaric," because it's the only thing that truly threatens the system, which otherwise holds a monopoly on violence, to prop up that system.

Because people are detached from ethics and humanity as an intended function of capitalism. If people regarded animal welfare every time they needed to eat by being exposed to the slaughter, line might go down. Media is sanitized whatever degree maximizes potential consumer bases, and ultimately profits.

The ability to be disconnected from the internet and still function properly.

It is funny every time and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
