2. and written in Newspeak

In the 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984), by George Orwell, Newspeak is the fictional language of Oceania, a totalitarian superstate. To meet the ideological requirements of Ingsoc (English Socialism) in Oceania, the Party created Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to reduce a person's ability to think critically. The Newspeak language thus limits the person's ability to articulate and communicate abstract concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will,[1][2] which are thoughtcrimes, acts of personal independence that contradict the ideological orthodoxy of Ingsoc collectivism.[3][

4. Such as The Good Side of Slavery, Why the Genocide of the Native Peoples is just Woke Propaganda,

Trump, “My Good Friend Vlad,” How Come Slave Owners are Denigrated? and so on. The Smithsonian
was once and can be again one of the great institutions of historical facts not someplace that Miller’s
rancid mind should be able to change into. N. Korean Pink Lady Show.

This right out of Mao’s cultural Revolution gotta make the story match the party line. This is shameful.
