i can kinda see it, kill line evokes the idea of an action being done to you, as in “drop below this line and we’ll kill you”, whereas keeping your head above water evokes drowning, which is an action that your body does
although that falls apart when you ask “why is there water there in the first place? who put it there? why are they just letting people drown?”






what ExotiqueMatter said with the addition of in some circles it is used incorrectly as a thought terminator the same way “tankie” is among anarchists/liberals
that’s mostly among baby MLs though
