Orwell and Newspeak
That Orwell was interested in linguistic questions and questions pertaining to the function and change of language is a fact that can already be seen in his essay "Politics and the English Language" (1946)[5] as well as in the Appendix to Nineteen Eighty-Four. As in "Politics and the English Language", the perceived decline and decadence of the English Language is a central theme in Nineteen Eighty-Four and Newspeak.[6]:171 In the essay Orwell criticises standard English, with its perceived dying metaphors, pretentious diction, and high-flown rhetoric, which he would later satirise in the meaningless words of doublespeak, the product of unclear reasoning. The conclusion thematically reiterates linguistic decline: "I said earlier that the decadence of our language is probably curable. Those who deny this may argue that language merely reflects existing social conditions, and that we cannot influence its development, by any direct tinkering with words or constructions."[5]
Orwell's main objection against this decline of the English language is not so much based on aesthetic grounds, but rather that for him the linguistic decline goes hand-in-hand with a decline of thought, the real possibility of manipulation of speakers as well as listeners and eventually political chaos.[6] The recurring theme in Nineteen Eighty-Four of a connection between authoritarian regimes and (authoritarian) language is already found in "Politics and the English Language":
Newspeak is a constructed language, of planned phonology, grammar, and vocabulary, like Basic English, which Orwell showed interest in while working at the BBC during the Second World War (1939–1945), but soon came to see the disadvantages of. Newspeak has considerable similarities to the system of Basic English proposed by Charles Kay Ogden in 1930. Basic ('British American Scientific International Commercial') English was a controlled language and designed to be an easy-to-learn English with only 850 core words. Like Newspeak, the Basic vocabulary is classified into three categories, two of them with two subcategories. The classification systems do however not coincide.[7]

Just Progressives being regressive,
It is what they do.
It is of course asininely stupid, awkward and difficult.
So then, apparently the government must ban writing in Spanish. Since the Spanish language contains many more gender based words than our language.

I think we have it figured out....
Since we can't legally accuse Sniff and Snort (Sleazy Joe and Hunter) of molesting their nieces and daughters now, does that mean it's legal for your China puppets to go **** themselves?????
Well. We cleaned up in 2018... held the house and won the presidency in2020 and have a 50/50 chance of winning the senate in 2021. Seems like the democratic agenda is winning hearts and minds while the republicans agenda is... what am I thinking, there is no Republican agenda.

Good news is tha it will not pass. I already hate spell check on my phone many times it puts things in I do not want. Imagine it changing gender words. Much like John Wayne I mean what I say and I say what I mean. I could not even pick up my phone if that shit hit spell check.So why is the House changing its rules to make a very small minority happy?

The Democratic agenda is nothing more than promoting “free” stuff at someone else’s expense. Yes, those with childlike minds are very intrigued. Ergo, the least successful and the youngest are staunch Democrats. Go figure.

If something says "Black lives matter" then by the same logic, White lives don't. Democrats play word games because they need to divert attention away from their inability to think.

Exactly. Go downtown one evening and hold a sign that says WHITE LIVES MATTER and see how long it takes before you're attacked or shot dead.
