#newspeak

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. yle.fi/a/74-20146617 #newspeak #äärioikeisto #USA #Orwell

> “At Sanas, we believe that while technology is transforming the industry, it shouldn’t replace human connection, but rather, enhance it,” Sharath Keshava Narayana, Sanas’ co-founder and president, told TechCrunch. “With the number of customer interactions continuing to scale globally, the need for human-to-human communication remains critical.”

#Newspeak #Dystopia!

#Academic #freedom? Not with the #newspeak list of words that could risk a #grant to be pulled in the USA.

My whole museum work would be forbidden: #culturalHeritage. And don't write about the Great Barrier Reef, the diversity of bacteria, excluded test arrangements, or female bears. A thread with the risky words: mastodon.online/@Lazarou@masto

A successful programme to dumb down a whole country. 🤡 Could become a #braindrain to other countries. 😈

"Oh yeah.. Bob Marlie, you say? Oh, right. Yea yea, a singer was it not? We have 2 albums on the chap, one from 1996 and 2015, and then 2 singles from 2021 and 2023 respectively. What do you say? Lyrics missing? Yea yea, it is an old singer. Dead, ya know.."

#Wikipedia keeps memory of Bob Marley so that no #Newspeak bullshit dystopia may erase him from history.

I wholeheartedly agree with #FckNzs & like the cartoon, so there may be place for a reminder:

the Nazis massively and purposely appropriated a variety of symbols, as much as they created a distorted form of early #NewSpeak, destroying certain German words for almost ever.

the swastika is but a prime example of cultural appropriation, as its origins are very much the opposite to #fascism...

First Blood was popular. And now First Truth internet search.

Same as Rambo wasn't real, yet made many people want to kill other people violently. Now DuckDuckGo's basic Truth isn't real, as first search result is an alternative fact. Is violence involved too? Killing society.

Snapshot shows DDG's search result explains the word "plaid" as "financial technology company that enables users to connect their bank.." 🤯
