That's how they control people
Who gets to determine what words mean?
Thought polic= e
Can only think certain thoughts
1984
Warning about present day
Rise of totalitarism
Control through language
Anyone in pow= er will try to control the language
Dead: passed on, moved on, kicked the bucket
Pregnant: expected,
Education: test -> assessment
College prep
Fail -> non graduation list
Wait list - you'll be acceptable
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between o= ne's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long wo= rds and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.
Language should clarify, share ideas
People in powe= r use it to muddy the waters and obfuscate
is designed to make lies sound truthful= and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
If you can't g= et them with facts - dazzle them with bs
Saying nothing= by saying a lot
Attempt to glo= ss over reality
Body bag ->= Human remains pouches -> transfer tubes (no image of whats in it)
Acronyms - for really long names
Accuracy is important
