“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink”
― George Orwell, 1984
“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself — that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involved the use of doublethink.”
― George Orwell, 1984
They cannot accept the premise that THEY just might be wrong about what is best for others.
Would be cute if millions of Black women actually voted for Trump. Did they? They are by far the dumbest, most brainwashed sector of the electorate. But in Sharansky’s triad they ARE true believers because they have totally accepted the Democrat’s destruction of Black families and culture and embraced complete dependency, entitlement of the unqualified, and continued moral, familial and cultural rot.
Imagine, just imagine, having family members that think just like this all the time. Imagine they believe you’re evil when you point it out. Millions of Americans have to deal with this daily.
Trump hatred is so large, it destroys common sense in these people. They advocate destruction of the Republic for stupid things that they just want at the time. Like fashion, in 10 years it will be a shirt that will be worn by a homeless person when the fad runs it course.
The national is in a crisis, and the world is a dangerous place. Substance, not fashion, is the way forward.
I had two liberal friends some years ago, and I could see it in real time whenever we debated. Their eyes would go blank for a second, and then they’d kind of shake their heads slightly, blink, and come back online with a different topic. And they’d have no memory of the point I made the next time the same topic came up. It was weird.
The poor karens need a reboot. They were short circuiting.
I love Brandon Straka.
