Is it just me or is "Died Suddenly" being replaced with "battle with a short illness"?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
Last 3 obits I've seen have had variations of "short illness" or "sudden illness" as they try to de-amplify "died suddenly."
Anyone else seeing this?
Well, these little rhetorical tricks they use do seem to work on people until they are memed into defeat. I’m not sure people even picked up on “died suddenly” right away, but only after the repetition and the highlighting pointed it out. There are probably other rhetorical tricks they are using on us right now that we haven’t even noticed yet. It’s a weird thing about effective rhetoric that it is often only obvious once it’s identified.
