List of words the CDC can't use anymore:
Fetus
Science-Based
Transgender
Evidence-Based
Vulnerable
Diversity
Entitlement
Yeah, totally not fascism or anything like that. This is just crazy. What's next? "All scientific claims must start with "God"?" Republicans will quietly gloss over this, acting like this is totally normal.
That's double plus ungood.
Newspeak is the fictional language in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, written by [b]George Orwell[/b]. It is a controlled language created by the totalitarian state Oceania as a tool to limit freedom of thought, and concepts that pose a threat to the regime such as freedom, self-expression, individuality, and peace.
I started reading "1984" earlier this year but only got about a third of the way through. It was too depressing given the current mess we have in the US.
