the very existence of newspeak and the fact that it dumbs down grammar and removes certain vocab to stop people from developing any critical thinking is the prime example on how language is used to manipulate people. manipulation starts by removing the ability to consider any alternate perspective or narrative in favour of one.

i doubt no matter how much people ask no-one is going to give you the exact quotes you need - you can be helped with ideas and themes but ultimately it’s a lot easier to find quotes once you have a certain direction with an idea or theme in mind in your own
