Orwell never said “doublespeak”. That was a thinking that stupid political cartoonists made up to describe “when a politician says one thing to one audience and another thing to another audience”. Orwell’s thing was “doublethink,” which was “holding two contradicatory beliefs at the same time”. You know, like the belief Orwell was an actual leftist and spent all of his time decrying actually existing socialism with no positive alternative.

He didn’t coin “doublespeak” but the term was a conflation of his “doublethink” and “Newspeak.”
