What type of evidence does Orwell use in the passage
to support the claim that "political speech and writing
are largely the defense of the indefensible"?
Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent
trudging along the roads with no more than they can
carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification
of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without
trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of
scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination
of unreliable elements.
-"Politics and the English Language."
George Orwell
