I see it as a scale from extremely polite to extremely offensive, where you just try to stay polite while being honest. I think the federal and provincial PMs, and the mayors aI know, have been good at this. Listen to the Canadian or UK Parliements, they even have strict rules to keep things in order.
In my view, “unalive” is just as useless a word as “woke”. Pre-MAGA federal politics could be politically correct without either of these new “words”. We don’t need federal politics to observe this. Anyone can visit their municipal debates and watch counselors and mayors being politically correct with each other. At least in my experience. The shock value language is mostly used by news-like outlets to make headlines and public attention.

Personally I have mixed feelings.
On one side - I consider being polite to be basic decency.
On the other side - I feel like this “do not call it murder, call it unaliving” and such are just lies by omission of a word.
That’s not woke. That’s circumventing algorithm bullshit.

My local counselors and mayors do not use english at all, so I know “political correctness” and “woke” only as english phenomena from media.
