    I can see China inducing comas in Uyghur women and forcing them to be incubators for the billionaires in the Chinese Capitalist Party who don’t want to deal with pregnancy.

      If the Chinese do it is double plus ungood but if the west does it, it is by definition, double plus good. Thank you fellow pleb for teaching me this understanding. I’m double plus looking forward to the 2 minutes of hate this morning.

          It’s Newspeak from Orwell’s 1984:

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak#Prefixes

          It’s purposefully stupid.

          I personally use it to highlight issues on China. It seems to me that, like the Conservative/Liberal Party divide, the The West/China divide is more a “it’s good if my side does it but bad when my opponent does it”.

          Use of Newspeak high lights this obserdity by replacing good with good and bad with ungood (i.e. not-good or opposite of good)

              That’s my point though. It isn’t good if anyone does it. Doesn’t matter the country, party of political ideology.

              Why be upset at China if we’re doing it as well? At least we have control over our laws, not China’s.
