Restricting vocabulary in itself controls reality.

There are words which have only spread to my area and awareness via the Internet, which do not translate to anything equivalent locally. Take these political terms as an example:

Astroturf = has to be explained in detail because the idea does not exist; it's a grass roots movement funded by someone and rolled out like a carpet in the style of a specific brand of such actual grass. Grass roots movements are per definition not funded from above in my native language, so this idea is something which sounds like a conspiracy theory.

Sockpuppet = same idea, a character is controlled by a hidden hand to express a certain message. The closest would be to talk about "proxies", this word stuck because it's at a macro scale: proxy army, or proxy group, in reference to Iran funding terrorism via other seemingly unrelated groups, but this was only accepted in this context. Using it to explain that Ukraine is a proxy for EU/USA does not work, it will also be rejected as a "conspiracy theory", despite it happening in the open.
