This surprised me when I realized it: how little frustration tolerance most people have when they don't understand something at first.
Maybe one factor is that people are already saturated by the complexity they are forced to deal with everyday because of work and bureaucracy, so they won't put up with something unnecessary.
When circumstances got bad, doublespeak has been the default way of communication from the higher-ups in most of the corporate environments I could witness. They are used to people who put up with their nonsense because they have no other real choice. Fortunately, on the internet people do have a choice.
A politician who is OK with his supporters physically attacking peaceful opposition is a fascist. We are seeing similar stuff in some countries in Europe. We are again getting used to stuff we hadn't been seen in a long time.
