we avoid...we use instead

Avoiding suggested pluralism (we) prevents singular (one) from being used by those who speak in the name of others.

language matters

Yet only motion generates matter...sound moves; words tempt one to hold onto definitions.

how quickly things became normalized

Suggested information by few became the norm as soon as many consented to it. Suggested changes after given consent are instantaneously, but few wield the power to decide (hence being chosen ones) how quickly these changes are allowed to penetrate the ignorance of many.

what to do?

Resist any suggested norm/norma/gnōmōn - "carpenters square" or one finds self enCOMPASSed within conflicts of reason.... https://www.etymonline.com/word/norm#etymonline_v_9797
