“MOST people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way.” 
With these words, George Orwell opens his famous essay, Politics And The English Language.
 In it, Orwell discusses the corruption in the language when one tries to defend the indefensible.
“A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. 
"It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. 
"It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.”
“In our time it is broadly true that political writing is bad writing.
"Where it is not true, it will generally be found that the writer is some kind of rebel, expressing his private opinions, and not a ‘party line.’”
George Orwell summarises eloquently, as follows: “In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. 
“Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of political parties. 
"Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. 
“Defenceless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: This is called pacification.
"Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: This is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers.
“People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements.”
Can one defend a war? Not at all. It’s the same old tactics in a new face. 
“I see no changes,” writes Tupac Shakur.
