    now you can't point out actual Orwellianism because of all the bad faith people who called everything Orwellian.

    Kind of like how you can't point out actual nazis because allegedly somebody misidentified a nazi once.

      can’t point out actual nazis

      No one actually cares if you do this in my experience. One of my coworkers is a Nazi and I pointed it out and literally only one of my coworkers cares and that's because she's Jewish and has personally been harassed by him multiple times
