I suggest you read Orwell beyond 1984 to see what I am getting at. The quote is from Politics and the English Language.

Yes, and when Orwell said "murder", he presumably meant "murder", as in physically attacking someone's body in some way so that they cease to live and become a corpse Since the point of that article was ranting about literal precision in language

Well, Orwell, in his famous essay "Politics and the English Language", said it was very important for people to clearly say what they actually mean instead of burying everything in dishonest rhetoric (especially rhetoric built on thoughtless clichés)

Dude, Orwell was talking about euphemisms designed to obfuscate. "Work camp" in his day, nowadays it might be "Detention center" or "enhanced interrogation" as opposed to "torture."

Dissidents are ppl who risk real censure to go against the instutional grain, not just uphold an institutions prejudices. Breaking TOS to harass the marginalized doesnt make you an iconoclast.
