"政治的な言葉は、嘘を真実に見せかけ、殺人を尊敬に値するものにし、純粋な虚言に確実性を与えるように設計されています。"
— George Orwell

Simplified Meaning:
Political language often uses fancy words and complex phrases to make falsehoods seem true and terrible actions seem acceptable. Imagine a politician talking about war. Instead of saying people are being killed, they might say "we are taking necessary actions to ensure peace." This makes it sound more acceptable and less harsh. The same goes for other situations where the truth might be ugly or uncomfortable. Politicians use polished and deceptive language to make their actions look justified and to hide the harsh reality. It is important to think critically and not take everything at face value. Always question and try to understand the real meaning behind their words.
