The Institutionalization of Newspeak Proceeds Apace: AP / 'Riot' Edition

facepalm

In your blue future, thoughtcrime will be made literally impossible because of the reengineering of language. 

You see, people have sometimes used the word 'riot' to "stigmatize." Therefore, instead of, y'know, just being on the lookout for such a misuse, best to stop using the word 'riot' at all...even when there are obvious riots happening right before our eyes. Best to say 'unrest' instead...

   And America has lost so much of its mind and so much of its backbone that hardly anybody will even bat an eye.

   Nice, respectable progressives will just keep nodding... Utter madness, after all--and the destruction of all respect for truth and accuracy--is better than being called a racist! Similarly: the destruction of the First Amendment, the destruction of the Second Amendment...

"Biden for President!" is the new "Death to America!"
