  > ministry of lies Winston worked in the Ministry of Truth. By doublethink, internally you know there are two meanings although you can never actually do the crimethink of believing or saying any ungood connotations. Edit - added quote: Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ...

To deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies.

    That put me into a deep, deep rabbit hole, learning lots of previous unknown facts of WW2 along the way. Thanks for wasting my time/giving me the opportunity to learn new things ..
