Summary

This quote, often attributed to George Orwell, highlights the deceptive nature of political language. It suggests that politicians and their rhetoric employ persuasive techniques to manipulate public perception. By using words that distort the truth, make immoral actions seem justifiable, and trivialize empty words as united efforts, political language can shape a false reality for the masses. Orwell argues that this manipulation serves to maintain power and control over the population, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and vigilance when it comes to understanding and interpreting political discourse.
