Okay. I'm sorry for psychologising. I shouldn't have speculated as to your motivations. The fact remains that you're objecting to Newspeak in one case, but not another. That looks to me like a pretty perfect example of what you're decrying: lack of political principle. Edited to add: which, given your complaint, suggests we're operating on different assumptions and principles. Perhaps you disagree that both are examples of Newspeak? I'd be curious to know why.
