    It’s like asking is the sky blue. Unintelligent people say: Yes.

    OMG are you the one who has increased the chocolate ration to 20 grams?

    We’re largely on the same page here.

    You are promoting “Newspeak”. I refuse.

      Nothing I am saying is even close to the term Newspeak. Newspeak is controlled language, simplified grammar, and limited vocabulary designed to limit a persons ability for critical thinking.

      But I’m not limiting your ability to think critically, I’m trying to expand it. Yet, not only are you failing to think more critically here, you’re actively avoiding it by tossing out accusations and making jokes. Likely because you’ve already decided that you’re “right” (whatever the fuck THAT is in this context, since we agree) and that you’re going to fight whatever you’re perceiving as an…attack?

      In short - yes, it would informally be a declaration of war - because they don’t call it that now. I’m just pointing out the second half is all.
