Newspeak


August 3, 2023

IN GEORGE ORWELL'S BOOK 1984, he spent a good deal of time in discussing language in the appendix at the back of the book. He pointed out that language strongly impacts how we think. By changing language, Big Brother's Marxist government directly controlled the minds of the citizens. It became increasingly difficult to even express ideas that were not aligned with the party line.

If you pay attention you can see this going on around you today, and the ones in charge are not shy about it either. If you do not use the allowed words, but instead use the disallowed words, you can be disciplined, fired, or even prosecuted. You will comply, or you will suffer the consequences.

Let's take a few examples.
