Evidence of Revision of Reality!!!

If you go to Google and search for (including quotes) "criticism," you will find an example of the meaning of a word which has been changed in order to affect us socially, to drive us to hate each other so that we can never get together and agree that those who run this world need to be removed from their position of wealth and power (after all, without wealth there is no poverty and without power no oppression.)
This is exactly what comes up:
crit·i·cism/ˈkridəˌsizəm/noun
1. the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.
2. the analysis and judgment of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic work.
Criticism cannot be objective, that is, without personal feelings for objects (literary and artistic work) while simultaneously being subjective about people, as an expression of disapproval most certainly is not only subjective, but strictly subjective, meaning there can be no objectivity.
This obvious dichotimy, or difference, between meanings of a single word cannot exist. It is illogical.
The fact is that criticism is and should only be objective. In fact, I cannot see how it can be interpreted to be subjective in any way, as it would be impossible to analyze and judge the merits of a thing against individual feelings because surely no one else would accept those measures. Criticism is an analysis. What they have done is changed the meaning of criticism, when it applies to people, so that it means disapproval only, not only subjective, but strictly negative as well.
But real criticism is necessary, it is an outside, objective perspective by which you can measure yourself. An example is here on FA. Let's say you have a submission of a drawing you did, something you worked on for weeks trying to do as well as you could. You post it. How do YOU measure it's reception? There are several metrics provided: views, favorites, and comments. But do any afford you an objective measure of what people think of or how people feel about the piece? Views may be just someone clicking on it because they can't see the preview well enough. And a view does not tell you if they enjoyed it or not. Favorites tell you more, that someone wanted someone else to see the piece, or otherwise wanted it displayed on their page; but this does not tell you why. And finally there are comments, and this is where criticism can be important, and why the change in meaning has harmed all of us.
Criticism is now said to mean an expression of disapproval. So who would want anyone to critique (make a criticism) of their drawing when it means that they are just going to expose themselves to negative commentary? But what real artist, interested in improving their skills, would not want to hear what people think, to get objective measures of how the piece was drawn, how successful it was in portraying the desired images and emotions. And that is where the published meaning of the world "criticism" being changed is important, and demonstrates somethign I am well aware of, but which no one else reading this understands: that society exists solely to benefit people who are not actually human beings by exploiting other humans, humanity's future, and the planet itself.
