the only 'consumers' who can't see the reality of the following article must have just come from room 101;
“Sometimes [two and two are four], Winston. Sometimes they are five.
Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You
must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”
One of the key themes from George Orwell’s dystopic novel 1984 is that the party can do and say whatever it wants.
And more importantly, you must believe it, with all your heart. No matter how absurd.
That’s doublethink. It is impossible for two plus two to equal three, four, and five simultaneously. But if the Party says it is so, it is so.
If you can’t make yourself believe two contradictory facts
simultaneously, that makes you a thought criminal– an enemy of the
Party.
Thoughtcrime is thinking any thought that contradicts the Party.
Facecrime is when you have the wrong expression on
your face. For instance, if captured enemy soldiers are being paraded
through the streets, looking sympathetic is a facecrime............https://www.theburningplatform.com/2019/02/18/how-1984-turned-into-an-instruction-manual/
