The manipulation of language and information within liberal societies to control political discourse. It involves redefining words ("freedom," "violence," "safety"), using bureaucratic euphemisms to obscure unpleasant realities, and constructing media narratives that frame complex issues in simplistic, morally binary terms to enforce ideological conformity. The goal is to control the conceptual framework through which events are understood, making dissenting viewpoints literally unspeakable.
*Example: "The Liberal Orwellianism was in the press release: 'The department engaged in a diversity-enhanced restructuring.' Translation: they fired the old white guys. 'The protest was mostly peaceful.' Translation: 95% stood around while 5% burned a police station. The language wasn't describing reality; it was manufacturing a politically useful simulation of it, making honest debate impossible."*
