Hi Torrie,

With good intention I downloaded and installed the Chrome extension so that I could check it out and possible give you some feedback.

Well, when reading the extension information I was quickly shocked that the example shown says that the word "Terrorists" gets replaced by the phrase "The Nation of Eastasia".

That is a big turn off for me, because at least in my mind it implies that all people in East Asia are terrorists. And that is a very awful thing to say or support.

I deleted the extension.

Hi, Sudo Room.

I've been super frustrated at world events lately, what with the US government
labelling everyone a terrorist, the NSA being so pervasive, and white
protestant males excusing other white protestant males for shooting up planned
parenthoods and such.

So here's a chrome extension I threw together that helpfully translates the
web using The Unabridged Newspeak Dictionary:

Feedback and additions are welcome. Please share :)
