Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option.

floors me that it's widely accepted that soldiers murdering soldiers in war isn't murder

Because it's not. Murder is one sided. War, you are fighting. It's not 1 sided. It's killing, and can easily and is often morally reprehensible. But that does not make it murder. Civilian deaths are still murder in a war.

It's not defanging language. Its using it as it is.
