Meanwhile when allies of The Party raise an issue the issue is described as an injustice and the person raising the issue is treated with the utmost care and dignity and not intentionally smeared by calling them ‘anxious’ or ‘fearful’.
Particularly, the language is subtly centered on mental illness- that people who wouldn't want what "normal people naturally want" are unhinged and maybe actually clinically pathological- which you should be scared of.
It's an effective form of othering- either you're mentally ill, or you're not, and gosh, I'M not!
