In any general election, a politician running for a position of power will often use colorful language to strengthen his overall argument. Any politician speaking in times of war would use language like that to prevent the speaker from truly visualizing the atrocities of war. Similar to politicians in Orwell's time, modern politicians still use the same methods to support their positions and gain favor with their colleagues and potential voters. While this strategy may work politically, in the realm of grammar many politicians make fools of themselves. Orwell argues that this type of speaker “has made some progress in transforming himself into a machine. The appropriate noises come out of his larynx, but his brain is not as involved as it would be if he were choosing the words himself (114). By alluding to politicians who have become reckless machines, he refers to individuals who have simply used a scapegoat, making themselves a common enemy among the public. This tactic was widely used by Allied sources in both World Wars, portraying the enemy as a threat to the fundamental values ​​of freedom and equality, which often led to prejudice or hatred towards the unfortunate targets of the war.
