“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”- Orwell
"Always reality asserts itself, to the confusion of those who hold false principles. They must then shout those false principles louder and louder." -- Marion Montgomery, THE TRUTH OF THINGS
In an interesting example of changing language in order to promote a political agenda, the editor of the Guardian has just ‘suggested’ (you can guess what happens to employees who beg to differ) that Guardian journalists adopt the following practices:
Use climate emergency, crisis or breakdown instead of climate change
Use global heating instead of global warming
Use wildlife instead of bio-diversity (when appropriate)
Use fish populations instead of fish stocks
Use climate science denier or climate denier instead of climate sceptic.
