Imperialist passive voice. Side point but if I can just make fun of an Orwellism for the moment. He got it backwards when he thought that simplifying language (ala double-plus good) would become a tool of oppression. If anything we've seen that its the opposite, that imperialists use increasingly convoluted and indecipherable language, to obfuscate what should be simple statements. Like, the art con-lang toki pona has only 120 words. Its nearly impossible to hide intentions, be subtle, or hide the subject and object like is done here. |
