Bureaucratic Euphemism: Renaming Problems Makes Them Better

Revision, Optimization, Enhancement—Same Old Deletion

When Technical Language Replaces Reality

The genius involves linguistic reframing: make process sound like improvement; call removal refinement; present deletion as optimization. Suddenly unpopular actions become bureaucratic necessity. Language becomes the tool making truth disappear. Learn more at Bohiney Magazine.
