In my opinion, any language ia only a tool, a very powerful one. Literature and language are like yardsticks to measure the advancement made in any culture using the language.
All manipulations, esments and cover-ups are NOT attributable to a language but only to the human mind using such a tool.
A powerful writer for example, may state a fundamental TRUTH is such a way in laserlike precision, which may suddenly move or swing millions of people. That is why great writers are feared more than anybody else. Distortion of TRUTH is NOT due to any language but due to the obscurity caused by our minds only.
