▲ 69 ▼ Western doublespeak compilation (lemmygrad.ml) submitted 2 years ago* by Trudge@lemmygrad.ml to c/comradeship@lemmygrad.ml 92 comments fedilink hide all child comments We all know that the west uses two different words for the same thing depending on where it is happening. e.g. Secret Police vs Plainclothes Officer Regime vs Government Can we have a compilation thread of these words? I am probably using many of them unconsciously without critical examination.
