A timeless essay, "Politics and the English Language," the importance of clear and concise expression, and the ways governments and politicians use and abuse language.
Thanks for posting about the George Orwell essay. Have you read about "Language: A Key Mechanism of Control," a handout given to Republican candidates in the 1990 midterms? See Heather Cox Richardson's substack today. This is fascinating and disturbing. Anne Applebaum is wonderful. Hope all is well in Alex.
