THE OBJECTIVE IT TO DESTROY HISTORY AS WE KNOW IT.
As the older generations die off, the memory of the way things were dies with them.
The new generations will have no clue as to the way society was, because they don’t get exposed to it, therefore it didn’t happen, and the way things ARE is the the way things have always been in their minds...............
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Good thing I have my copy of Song of the South safely stored.
I am of the age where “1984” was required reading. It was scary reading it then. Now I am seeing it being put in to place.
