Understanding how political language works, and how it's used to control the way we think and conceive of the world, should be a concern of everyone in this movement.
So, I present to you a George Orwell essay. It's one of the most important essays written int he 1940s, and I think it's still very relevant today. I hope you can find a few minutes to read it.
