Wasn't this covered in newspeak?

We learn by hearsay, from observing others in context, from personal experience, and from mulling about them all and their significance for the situations demanding our attention and action.
When the meanings of important words (symbols or 'shorthand' for our multifaceted understanding) are eroded or reversed by the corruptive crowd, construct a new term and use it as a synonym for the older term. Be creative, encouraging. and uncurling. Fetality in an adult is a fatality!
Don;t give up the hard won ground of civilization.
For example, in language and behavior we are all at times morose, musing, apathetic, sad, depressed, enthusiastic, ... and gay. Why allow the corruptives to capture and convert the word 'gay' to mean, for the most part now, homosexual?
Why be supine when accused of being Islamophobic when any sane person has good reason to be known to be Islammetusic [metus is the Latin for RATIONAL fear, fear of a real threat to one's safety]due to the widespread thuggery of Muslim activists/atavists in promotion of their supremacist religious ideology?
Did Churchill lie when he urged, "Never, never give up!"?
