If the linked page is too long for you (seeeveeen paaageeees! OMG WTF TLDR!), here's a choice quote: "if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." This, I think, is the core idea of 1984.
But seriously, go read the linked essay: it's even more applicable now than when it was written, 70 years ago. 1984 is, in this regard, a lengthier version of this (okay, this claim is not entirely serious).
