Liberal academics abhor coherent sentences.

I call their incoherent speech blah blah blah blah blah. Everyone on the left uses it. They say a bunch of crap, in long sentences that doesn’t mean anything.

In his essay Politics and the English Language George Orwell points out that poor writing conceals fuzzy thinking which goes on to promote more fuzzy thinking and more poor writing. As he put it:

"...an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts."
