When Language Is Used to Deceive You: How Doublespeak Distorts Reality and Corrupts Thought (1989)

https://youtu.be/zVdC9-btnPI

Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. #Doublespeak may take the form of euphemisms (e.g., "downsizing" for layoffs and "servicing the target" for bombing),[1] in which case it is primarily meant to make the truth sound more palatable. It may also refer to intentional ambiguity in language or to actual inversions of meaning. In such cases, doublespeak disguises the nature of the truth.

Doublespeak is most closely associated with #political #language.

The word is comparable to George Orwell's Newspeak and Doublethink as used in his book Nineteen Eighty-Four, though the term "doublespeak" does not appear there.

Who is the worst offender of using doublespeak?

The MAPA Great Famine project focuses on the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33, also known as the Holodomor (“death by starvation”), which is widely considered in Ukraine and beyond to be a genocide. The project is concerned with the geospatial analysis of Holodomor losses and the factors that may have influenced distribution outcomes.

The Soviet Union's Forgotten Famines

Ukraine has turned a tragedy in its past -- the famine of the 1930s -- into an important national issue and a thorn in the side of Russia. But little is heard of some other tragedies of the Soviet era, including those that affected Russians themselves. Are the devastating famines in Kazakhstan and Russia's Volga region bound to be forgotten?

Though a border is usually defined as a physical or a sketched line separating two areas; the definition changes when it is being defined between two countries, having not-so-good relationship history. For India and any of its neighbouring country, border is the control of line between the two places where no personnel from the two countries is allowed except when they have a special permission to do so. This is why India has been on the road to build the largest border wall in the world.

California’s shipping backlog is, in part, caused by a “California Truck Ban which says all trucks must be 2011 or newer and a law called AB 5 which prohibits Owner Operators.”

California’s trucking regulations may have had an impact on port backups, but there’s more to it

"The NEWS says the California port situation is caused by a driver shortage," one viral post on Facebook said. "Not so fast: It is in part caused by a California Truck Ban, which says all trucks must be 2011 or newer, and a law called AB 5, which prohibits Owner Operators."

California Is Single-Handedly Making The Supply Chain Crisis Even Worse

    California introduced new regulations for the trucking industry that would worsen supply chain issues and hurt industry workers, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
 
    “We in the industry know that if you think there was a supply chain problem over the last year, wait until you take this many trucks out of the marketplace that are not replaceable,” Joe Rajkovacz, director of Governmental Affairs and Communications at the Western States Trucking Association, told the DCNF.

    “I’m stressing, do I downsize my company to two drivers at the end of the year because I only have two trucks, or do I have four drivers and switch them out?” Bill Aboudi, the owner of AB Trucking in Oakland, told the DCNF.

    “For months, Californians and families across the country have been dealing with supply chain issues that mean empty shelves and skyrocketing prices,” Republican California Rep. Michelle Steel, told the DCNF. “This is the result of bad policies from Washington and Sacramento that are restricting the trucking industry and contributing to the congestion felt at our ports.”
