Naivety? It looked a lot more like depravity to me.

“Naivety” is British spelling for “naiveté.” Interesting, since I assume the word is French.

(and neither “niavety” nor “naive” are in my spel chekkr). I’ve been using the term a lot lately, as I feel that

  1. journalism inherently tends powerfully towards cynicism towards society,
  2. cynicism towards society corresponds inherently to naiveté towards government, and
  3. the combination of cynicism towards society and naiveté towards government actually defines socialism (of any stripe).

Paris, Cuba and Iran are Obama’s biggest failures, hands down. This kind of Doublethink would give Orwell the dry heaves.
