What type of evidence does Orwell use in the passage

to support the claim that "political speech and writing

are largely the defense of the indefensible"?

Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent

trudging along the roads with no more than they can

carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification

of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without

trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of

scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination

of unreliable elements.

-"Politics and the English Language."

George Orwell
