They do a lot more war than defense don't they?

[abustamam]

That may be true but changing the department's name can only be done with an act of congress, which has not been done yet. Thus, the name is still officially and legally Dept of Defense.

Just because a name is more accurate doesn't mean that it's its new name. Otherwise we wouldn't be the United States of America (we are literally not united bc Hawaii and Alaska are not contiguous, and we are figuratively not united because... Well, you know)

All of that's irrelevant for what "newspeak" means.

[abustamam]

Maybe, but the comment I was replying to wasn't talking about newspeak.

[furyofantares]

It's in a reply chain that's talking about newspeak. You compacted your context way too early.

[abustamam]

The reply chain is talking about newspeak but the parent of the comment I was replying to was

> DoW is newspeak. Thats not it's name.

I understood that comment I was replying to was responding to was replying to the latter part of the comment.

Discussions and threads can evolve. They are not static.

[fluidcruft]

I'm confused... now you were talking about newspeak? How odd.

[fluidcruft]

Oh apologies, I interpreted your comment as intended to be part of the discussion rather than as a non-sequitur.
