Distorsión of reality by linguistic manipulation.
This is straight out of 1984 book:
In the novel, “Newspeak” wasn’t just about being concise; it was designed to shrink the vocabulary so much that “heretical” thoughts became literally impossible because the words for them no longer existed.
Here is a breakdown of how linguistic manipulation distorts reality, both in the book and in our world:
1. The Erasure of Nuance
In 1984, if you wanted to say something was “terrible,” you just said it was ungood.
By removing “bad,” “terrible,” and “horrific,” the emotional weight of the experience is flattened.
- The Result: When we lose specific words for our feelings or experiences, our ability to think critically about those experiences atrophies.
is this made to look like it was written by “ai” as a sort of ironic joke, or did you actually use an llm to write your thoughts for you on how powerful people controlling the language we use is dangerous?
Ungood is very similar to “unalived”…
What a coincidence…
They took a literary warning about totalitarian regimes and used it as manual to implement a totalitarian regime.
It would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous.
Classic Torment Nexus stuff.
You could say doubleplusungood.
To actually answer the question:
Because most of the old media functionally has the CIA as an editorial board.
Immensely ironically, we know a lot about that because of Noam Chomsky.
Who… is also in the Epstein files.
Quite a lot.
Yeah, it wasn’t just the right wing of the country that has been existing in a constructed media hyperreality, it has also been the left wing of the country.
What does Chomsky knowing Epstein have to do with anything?
They kind of just explained that… Chomsky is famous for writing about manufacturing consent, which is exactly what the media is doing here.
Yeah, thank you.
Chomsky functionally was the primary whistleblower on how the media in the US gets routinely manipulated by intelligence agencies…
… and its now pretty clear that he got folded in, to being part of that the system that does that.
I wouldn’t describe Noam as left wing, he’s advocating for Ukraine’s unilateral surrender rn. He’s just Red Fascist.
Oh dear, I was unaware of that.
Oi…
Still though, he was a pillar of the left wing, in the sense of left wing = not conservative, a literal seminal figure of it, for decades.
I used to think maybe he was okay but clearly he has always just been a well regarded Tankie fuck.
Overall the problem comes from the fact that there is a difference between consensual and non-consensual sex, no matter the age. And yes there is the question of at what age can a person truely consent, but technically the word still applies for descriptive purposes.
So, for people above the legal age, rape is generally non-consenual sex. But below a magic age that isn’t consistent across the world, rape includes consenual sex. That causes there to be a gap in that there aren’t useful words to differentiate between consensual, and non-consensual sex with a minor. Some word argue there is no difference, but technically there certainly is.
You also have no easy way to describe sex with a very young kid vs a 17.9 year old. Yet they are certainly very different also. Since the world can’t agree on a static age for consent, and really everyone is different, so it just isn’t that simple, you can be sure that these differtiations matter to some people. In short, all rape is bad, but some is certainly even worse. But terminology doesn’t support differentiation. So news people make up thier own.It’s called statutory rape.
Also, jesus fucking christ, man.
🎼 Some of those who work newsrooms
Are the same who rape kiddos
SHILLING IN THE NAME OF! 🎶
The minimization is CRAZY. Like people are saying “Oh, no, he didn’t rape the kid he just had sex with her.” Like the child CONSENTED to it. Sex, by definition, is engaging in sexual pleasure with both persons consent.
Our country that was fought for by thousands of soldiers, many whom died for this land, so we could have freedom and a break away from the king of Britain. He was a dictator, and now we are in the company of one such other dictator. A rat, who gained entry only by his father’s money and influence. Who used that influence and abused it, who corrupted young minds and brainwashed people to believe that he was doing good.
That he was making America great again.
When the only thing he did for us was give us empty promises, and shoved us down the path of an emptier future.
The corruption is deep, need to amputate
Because the news is largely owned by the oligarchy.
How the fuck was I your first upvote? You’re spitting pure fact. Our MSM “news” is mostly owned by right-wing billionaires AKA oligarchs.
The other night I listened to the PBS News Hour characterizing grok’s AI child pornography as “explicit” and “putting women into bathing suits”.
More like the people that own these news companies are also in the files and tweaking the narrative as a result. Something something follow the money something
“Underage female”. I’ll never forget this. He was a serial child rapist, to start with.
I was a bit miffed to discover that, during the current fall of america, most media, whether right, middle or left leaning, proved to us they’ll fiddle with the truth for money and clicks. Fuck capitalism. We the people?, or we the money?
Don’t you know how many Benjamins got the right to vote on 21 January 2010
People need to be calling out networks and reporters/authors by name for doing this. Stop blaming “they” and put a name on it.

This is why you should get your news from alternative media. I usually recommend Breaking Points. There’s even a reporter on their staff that punched Jesse Watters in the face once.
Internet Today is good too
mind that most of these people would otherwise refer to women as girls. it’s deliberate.
