I remember what Newspeak was for. It was to obliterate the language that permitted people to discuss or debate ideas like freedom or tyranny. To destroy words as links to ideas, and destroy the concept of objectivity entirely.

You're just digging deeper. I'd stop if I were you.

Orwell's Appendix on the subject of Newspeak can be readhere. Recommended.

Incidentally, your penultimate paragraph is a complete fantasy.
