They're Properly Called a "PURGE" [1]

This story from Talking Points Memo says it as it needs to be talked about:
This Ain’t The Apprentice. Stop Calling Them Firings. They’re Purges.
I haven’t seen anywhere that it’s a 24 hour purge. Besides that, it’s lasted three weeks now.
Purge: In history, religion and political science, a purge is a position removal or execution of people who are considered undesirable by those in power from a government, another, their team leaders, or society as a whole. A group undertaking such an effort is labeled as purging itself. Purges can be either nonviolent or violent, with the former often resolved by the simple removal of those who have been purged from office, and the latter often resolved by the imprisonment, exile, or murder of those who have been purged.

Once again:
I’ve sometimes seen posters stating that using proper terminology is super important to address what needs to be known. Say this again and again and again — (teachers say it has to be said at least three ‘3’ times for the average person to ‘get it’.) (i’ll go out on a limb here and hope that it’s only necessary to say it once for the current audience? Bueller? Hello?)
If you control language, you control the argument.
If you control the argument, you control information.
If you control information, you control history.
If you control history, you control the past.
We are living that nightmare right now in the 21st century.
“He who controls the past controls the future.”
– George Orwell’s Big Brother, 1984

And so it goes . . . Take control!
