I refuse to believe that anyone who thinks that 1984's main takeaway is that there is no objective truth and that any attempt to stand against propaganda is a greater crime than the propaganda lies themselves has actually read it. The problem with minitru is that 2 plus 2 does not, in fact, equal 5. It's not that saying one fact is true is somehow immoral.

The issue has never been about truth itself. It's always been that you should allow no single entity to be the arbiter of what is the truth, because everyone has an agenda, and organizations have multiple people with multiple agendas.
