I’m just salty. The fascists are going to take whatever they can. Even renaming it is giving them something. I don’t see a point.
Now is the time to stand up for our friends of color.
Newspeak would be an attempt to prevent any language that hinted at things deemed “bad”. For example, we couldn’t call this “fascism” with Newspeak because the approved language would remove that word completely. Newspeak isn’t just changing how you say things, but preventing unapproved behavior entirely by saying those things don’t exist.
Sounds like “newspeak” to me
It’s do that, or drop it all together.
If they need to newspeak then I say go for it.
Then drop it. Trump is gonna do whatever they want regardless, kowtowing is just going to embolden them.
I don’t think you understand that they’re pushing against Trump by doing this.
