So on other words, "newspeak" when said by a conservative (rather than someone who actually read the book and understands the concept) is a dog whistle used to complain that English is a living language, and usage of words change...
It's a complete DARVO for attempting to use old language to accomplish newspeak as per the actual usage in 1984.
It's almost reminiscent of DBT complaining in the free will threads that compatibilists use a different philosophical foundation for "free will" than "libertarian free will", and complaining that our argument fails because it makes too much sense.
How dare we understand the foundations of common words at an academic level!
Plenty of argument has been made to demonstrate than "man" and "woman" are social concepts only loosely linked to physical realities, and that even sex is a pure statistical concept that is not prescriptive to any reality of binaries.
This has been beaten into the ground ad nauseum.
