But newspeak in my reading refers to using words to cloud your meaning,
giving them a meaning opposite from their obvious intention etc. The
point of debate I think is if such usage suffices to brainwash the
masses, and in extremis if you can delete a concept from people's
consciousness by omitting a given term (or, if people without words for
a given concept are by definition unaware of those concepts). If you ask
me I guess it does up to a point, and/but only up to a point.

Ahem was that sharp or what ;) Anyway stupid racist discussion to begin
with, by the way Warble has yet to offer us the words for dog and ***,
unless he intends for us to speak of doggie diarrhoea. See his "arabic
terms related to atheism", including such gems as the words for science,
scholar and uncertainty. No words any religion person would ever think
to use of course.
