… in the future please refer to … oh lets just say it was called England, as Airstrip One. Would that make the USSA Airstrip Two? … or is it to early to make that call? I guess the first step would be to see if the USSA is really Oceania. Gee, I hope the content sniffer can “tolerate” the word “strip”. Not that the word “strip” is inherently tainted. I imagine that in the near future the reasoning might work as follows: The word “strip”, if one looks carefully, contains the word “trip”. And you understand, of course, that the word “trip” implies travel. Travel, of course, is an activity that one chooses and since choice is connected to freedom … well then you have it … quod erat demonstrandum or if you prefer ὅπερ ἔδει δεῖξαι. I would have written QED but as that is the way it would have been written in pre-Airstrip One time and as one has no idea what is, or will not be acceptable, under Airstrip One governance … we must remember like Helen Hirsch … there are no rules. https://youtu.be/7mJ0HSLMba0

Methinks thy prose doth capture a bit of the essence of this Brave New Age. You could even throw in reductio ad absurdum, as a spiral into absurdity on all fronts also seems to characterize our times.
