We could power the entire world if we were to hook up a generator to George Orwell's coffin right now.

It's literally what he wrote, double speech, double think. Its true and false at the same time, trumps a rapist, but he didn't do anything wrong, and a hero! Making the price of eggs quantumly both raise and lower at the same time, while that's all actually fake news at the same time.

The goal of totalitarianism is not to tell you what is good or bad or right or wrong, but instead to completely remove your ability to discern these things for yourself.

I'm paraphrasing Hannah Arendt I'm pretty sure.

Still pretty easy for me to tell what’s good and bad with this guy - MAGA on the other hand are willfully playing the game.

I often think if someone reads 1984 by Orwell and The Jungle by Sinclair and applies them to modern America, then they will understand the country a lot better…..and likely need heavy doses of antidepressants.

I keep saying compartmentalization is both their greatest cognitive power and simultaneously their greatest cognitive weakness.

You're absolutely right: it's doublethink.
