The whole point of the 1984 scenario was that people couldn't talk about the preceding period and no evidence supporting its existence could be found.
- Terr_ 6y agoI'll go a step further: Not only is the evidence and history of US-Taliban relations all still there, but the accused-1984 people weren't even denying the history exists. They were, at worst, just glossing over it. Let's suppose that there are five tiers on the spectrum of "good" to "1984": Acknowledge the history; Omit it; Contradict it, Erase it, Punish dissenters. Prior to 2016 most US politicians never went past Omit.
