Orwell’s Warning: The Insidious Nature of Political Language
Support the channel by subscribing to our Substack:
Imagine waking up in a world where words no longer mean what they appear to. A place where language, the very tool we use to communicate and understand reality, is twisted to obscure truth and manipulate thoughts. This unsettling scenario is not a dystopian fiction but a reality shaped by doublespeak-a deliberate distortion of language to deceive and control. In this essay, we will examine the insidious power of doublespeak, exploring how skilled manipulators use doublespeak to alter our perception of reality, making lies sound truthful and atrocities seem admirable. The dystopian nightmare of George Orwell’s work 1984, may be closer upon us than we realize.
