The thing is that words can have a very broad range of meaning depending on who uses them and how (among many other factors), but you can't accurately code all of that into a form that computers can understand.

They just need to figure out how to turn it into a massive advertising campaign, lock everyone in their houses and give them an opportunity to shitpost about how horrible their ideological opponents are, and nobody will question anything they tell you to put in your body to solve depression.

When something challenges some people's world views, the only response they can muster is to imagine whoever is involved must be lying through their teeth.

Tried vanilla Daggerfall again recently, and it's a great hit of nostalgia, but definitely felt the age pretty hard. This mod looks amazing.
