I found a cure for that kind of condition years ago. Instead of getting head aches and sleepless nights i started ridiculing everything until people said: Leave him alone he's crazy. That brought me total Liberty. Now i can use traditional , often abusive Language and no NEWSPEAK at all and get away with it. I recently ran into some US Veterans in Pattaya Thailand where they run a bar. Ignorant of what kind of place it was (crowded with traumatized Gi's) i sat next to a fellow which i couldn't really see due to the bright sun behind him. We talked about many things including NEWSPEAK for which they seem to have speacial rules in the US Mil. Anyway i mentioned how ridiculous the Word Nigger (now called N.Word) and it's migration to ä Person of Color is. My point was : If i was black i want to be called black and not someone of color ! He just smiled, the sun moved on and he turned out to be totally BLACK ! Nice guy !
