Synonymopposite
Synonyms and opposites have the same meaning. To be and not to be is no longer a problem. One is, and at the same time, one is not. Without our noticing the fact, words have become Synonymopposites The opposite of war is peace, but peace has become the synonym of war. Bombing raids are now called “peace missions”. Everyday conversations, newspaper articles, news given by the talking heads on TV are synonymopposites. They explain reality using terms that have a contrary meaning or something completely different. It’s the technique of confusion, a non-place where the cats are all grey like they are at night.

Adorno: Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit
„Daß der Faschismus nachlebt; daß die vielzitierte Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit bis heute nicht gelang und zu ihrem Zerrbild, dem leeren und kalten Vergessen, ausartete, rührt daher, daß die objektiven gesellschaftlichen Voraussetzungen fortbestehen, die den Faschismus zeitigten. Er kann nicht wesentlich aus subjektiven Dispositionen abgeleitet werden. Die ökonomische Ordnung und, nach ihrem Modell, weithin auch die ökonomische Organisation verhält nach wie vor die Majorität zur Abhängigkeit von Gegebenheiten, über die sie nichts vermag, und zur Unmündigkeit. Wenn sie leben wollen, bleibt ihnen nichts übrig, als dem Gegebenen sich anzupassen, sich zu fügen; sie müssen eben jene autonome Subjektivität durchstreichen, an welche die Idee von Demokratie appelliert, können sich selbst erhalten nur, wenn sie auf ihr Selbst verzichten.(…)“
