I just heard a news report on the president’s trip to India. According to Trump, India is incredible, with incredible people and even the food is incredible. How about that Taj Mahal? just incredible.

In 1984 Orwell teaches us the horror of the ruling class dumbing down the working class – the proles. One effective way to do it is to minimize the use of words, more and more until language is reduced to basic signs of good or bad, or just grunts.. Things were good or ungood, and instead of words like wonderful or stupendous, things were + good. If it’s magnificent or spectacular, ++ good. With language brought down to a few words, the proles had as much chance of rebellion as barn animals against the farmer.

Notice the way the younger generation uses the word “Awesome.” When I was their age the word was rarely heard or used – meaning magnificent and inspiring awe and wonder. The Grand Canyon was awesome, or the universe itself.

But today you might hear some a kid saying, “That steak dinner was awesome, what an awesome song, or some good comment, just awesome.” It’s for sure religions don’t want a deep-thinking people analyzing everything they say. It’s for sure that Big Business wants people that will believe anything. And it’s for sure Big Government wants non-thinking, contented consumers that will buy anything just to keep the economy going no matter what it does to the environment.

Have you heard any duckspeak lately? – A mindless rant praising the president and the job he’s doing? Awesome.
