Only fascists need to change the meanings of words.

AP: We have always been at war with Oceania.
The media keeps getting more Orwellian by the minute.
The American media and their Dem Party bosses make Stalin look positively benign.

What did Orwell write in “1984” about controlling the past (i.e., History, Education) and controlling the language (Newspeak) so you cannot even think or say bad thoughts?

Joseph Goebbels once said he learned everything he did from reading American Politics.

“expanding the definition of “protest” to include violent demonstrations. “

I think they meant to say...

“expanding the definition of “peaceful protest” to include violent demonstrations.”

“The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible.” — George Orwell

For now, at least, it gives AP a way of lying about what is going on. I think “riot” is a fine word, and “protest” does not include violence, because then it would be a riot.

Good. So when I bust their ####ing heads in with a bat if they ever come at me at a “protest”, I’ll be good to go.

What BLM and AntiFa have been doing is RIOTING—not “protesting”!!!!

Their goal is NOT to get fairer treatment for black people, but to OVERTHROW the United States, and to substitute a communist government and society!!!

They use instances of killing of black criminals by police as EXCUSES for their violent riots—arson, looting, harassment, mayhem, and murder!! And those who particulate in these riots include whites—who may in fact be in the majority. But white, black, or brown, they are all communists and their dupes!!!!

Mr. President—OUTLAW both BLM and AntiFa!!!!

And FYI, this “stylebook” is also the source of referring to black people as “Black” and white people as “white”.

I just bookmarked.

Over the weekend, I saw my son. He was holding a copy of 1984 and wondered if he should read it.

I said, Absolutely! This is one of the most important books of the century when it was written.

I guess we’re in the 21st? Time flies...

“Tempus fugit?” I hope that’s right.

I hate the book 1984

Its become the playbook of the left unfortunately

Unrest to replace riot may not be quite that bad.

The next revision will be Love-In or Justice Orgy suppose.

The AP Stylebook is constantly being amended for ‘woke’ propaganda purposes. It’s best for regular people to actively do the opposite of what it ‘suggests’ at this point.

The term riot suggests uncontrolled chaos and pandemonium,”

I see. Since the violence is planned, should we go with terrorism, insurrection or war?

We need to shame any MSM that adheres to the AP style book. Who says they are any judge as to how to change the language!
