@lccscotland this is just #ridiculous! another example of another disastrous decision the self-proclaimed leaders ( #bullies ) of the "free" world, and its impact across the world. Illegal #Cannabis is #illegal Within the context of #alcohol and #tobacco, cannabis is less harmful (check data on all 3). There was never a Public Health problem with cannabis addiction. Cannabis was proihibited because of #prejudice, #racism and pure #ignorance. "Drugs and Alcohol" is just #newspeak. #boycottusa

Behind every altered word of protest lies an attempt to control society.

Officina ProgettiThe Lexicon of Power: Newspeak - Officina ProgettiSome words disappear quietly. Not because people stop using them, but because they are replaced, softened, and stripped of their impact. This happens everywhere: in politics, in the economy, and in the media. We no longer talk about job insecurity but about labor flexibility. War is rebranded as peacekeeping missions.…

Don't fall for #NewSpeak - Call things what they are. If #ICE agents are grabbing people off the street who haven't committed a crime, they are not "arresting" people, they are ABDUCTING them. They are taking them across state lines to TERRORIZE people. They are not prisoners or detained, they are HOSTAGES.

Do not normalize #Fascism

Oikeisto rakasti kritisoida vasemmistoa newspeakistä, mutta on ihan hiljaa kun USA:ssa äärioikeiston toimesta tapahtuu juuri sitä mitä Orwell tarkoitti 1984:ssa newspeakilla. Sanoja kielletään ja poistetaan, koska niiden olemassaolo kiistää ideologian. https://yle.fi/a/74-20146617 #newspeak #äärioikeisto #USA #Orwell

Can one possibly come up with a more in-your-face Orwellian #newspeak name is the question?

Dank voor de dagelijkse update.
Vandaag ben ik flabbergasted door het item over verboden woorden. George Orwells 1984 wordt hier echt werkelijkheid #newspeak

These are the words that Trump wants to ban. The US is going to be a sad and lonely place.

Four columns, probably hundreds of words and far too many characters to include here.

Try following the New York Times link. Sorry.

@SrRochardBunson scratch that: this makes it impossible to write any #papers re: #SocialStudies, #Psychology, #Medicine or basocally anything involving #humans and not #engineering and even there it'll be had to avoid said vocabulary!

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@SrRochardBunson@universeodon.com that basically makes #sociology and #pychology papers #illegal, even if all they say *"we cannot find disparities between black / latino people or between genders based off our data"*

The Trump regime expands its discouraged (BANNED) words across federal agencies. The list is long.

The New York Times has compiled an uncanny list of words that US federal agencies want to eliminate because they are suspected of possible link with wokism. Do read the list, because it really helps understand the mental representation of “woke” in the new administration.

I get the feeling Webster's will issue a great many changes in the next edition.

#newspeak is a learned skill.

Freedom of speech

To one it means freedom to speak.
To the other it means freedom from others daring to speak up.
