Never understood about pride in being a genetic dead end

It's got nothing to do with the word "pride." It's all about controlling the language, corrupting the language and defining the meaning of words to take control.

Manipulation of language as a weapon of mind control and abuse of power in 1984

Orwell believed that totalitarianism and the corruption of language were connected. He focused especially on political language where you distorted events and concepts by calling them something else. You said things in such a way that you avoided producing an inner picture of them. As an example, in Politics and the English Language. He said that ‘If thoughts can corrupt language, language can also corrupt thoughts. ‘ This idea would eventually lead to Newspeak.
