LOL. I contend that Orwell predicted it and gave it a name. He did several paragraphs in 1984 explaining the goal of the practice he called Duckspeak, but did not provide explicit examples.
“make articulate speech issue from the larynx without involving the higher brain centres at all.”
I’m guessing he didn’t give us an example because he could see the value in its use but had not yet seen it put to use.
We, unfortunately, have been forced to live with it and have not yet figured out a successful counter-ploy since we don’t command the most omnipresent stage as the SSM does.
Such a widely staged practice, its contents prevented from being fairly contested on that stage and thus easily employed for inculcating weak and weakened minds, provides material for the jabbering parrots you may hear every hour of every day. Emitting words without involving the higher brain centers at all.
Ed, that’s a great example of double entendre. The verbal phrase commands the noun. And that is what’s required ever more to remain a paid talking head on SSM.

The U.N. should be target #1 on every liberty loving person’s list. It’s a profoundly evil influence.
Wifey bought me the book on the life of Rev Awdry who wrote the Thomas The Tank Engine books. It was a nice read. Liberals, particularly feminists, were having a poke at his books years ago so this is not new. Children loved these books irrespective of the gross unfairness in the character make up so are smart enough to see through this nonsense.
I also came to realise why the author was reluctant to allow his character’s faces on just any sort of engine – he was very fussy about accuracy, as were many of his young readers, so he was generally protecting his patch.

Did this snivelling, despicable girly boy “weep openly” when muzzie scum killed a Canadian soldier in Canada?

Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

"The loss of freedom is like cancer; it will spread slowly but surely across all parts of society until our liberty has been utterly eaten away and we are left with nothing but a half-forgotten idea of what freedom was."
Categorize as “Orwell was right again!”
“Are there even words for this level of stupid?”
LOL. I contend that Orwell predicted it and gave it a name. He did several paragraphs in 1984 explaining the goal of the practice he called Duckspeak, but did not provide explicit examples.
The best summation I’ve seen is

Utter nonsense.
Utter as in “to speak”.

Yes, they utter nonsense.
I decided there was much more to discuss about this. So that required a post of its own.

Thanks for providing the impetus Darin!

Going along with Pascal’s “double entendre” theme – “Know thy enemy”.

I don’t know how those idiots manage. Double standards must be pretty damn heavy when you carry them everywhere.
