The word “liquidate” makes me incredibly uneasy, and this is the reason why. I’ve only ever seen it used in two specific contexts: cooking/science stuff and by Nazis/reactionaries in general. I know the word itself isn’t bad, most words are neutral at best, but it feels insidious to me now that Nazis use it so often.

I’ve heard liquidate used to describe what vulture capitalists do as well.
