George Orwell explained the importance of vocabulary control in his 1984 instruction manual for 'woke'. Whoever has control over language controls the past, present and future. Speaking of which, in order to achieve this goal, the staff of the satirical portal Babylon Bee have collected the phrases that will be needed if someone wants to say smart things while hanging out with his "woke" friends.
"Don't they see that the only purpose of the new language is to limit thinking? In the end, thought crime will become literally impossible because there will be no words to express it,” Orwell wrote.
Thanks for the great idea, Mr. Orwell!

Desegregation: A vile act, the perpetrator of which denigrates black people with physical whiteness and white thinking.
Abolition: A sacred ritual in which those who deny the doctrines of the true path movement are scorned. Ignore the unbelievers!
White Supremacy: Literally everything. Just look around - all you see around you is white supremacy. The pencil. The keyboard. The coffee cup. The chocolate cake. All white supremacy.
Liberation: The ultimate goal of being woke. It can only be achieved through the communist overthrow of Western capitalism. This is it! This liberation is a fat party!

Homophobe: Anyone who thinks differently than the LGBTQ community, even to the smallest extent. To be destroyed.
