I grew up as a liberal, but life experience turned me into a conservative. You have only to listen to a liberal for five minutes to discover double think. When you repeat back to them two statements, they have made that are mutually contradictory. They become flummoxed. Cognitive dissonance. They believe two different things and are trying to figure out which one is true, which one is false.
"Facts. George Orwell's 1984 is essentially leftism in a nutshell: 'What is a woman?'. Forced Lockdowns. Forced vaccines. 15 Minute Cities. Censorship/’Cancelled'. Trust The 'Experts'. Questioning Is Ridiculed. Destroy The Nuclear Family.".
Gaslighting is itself a doublethink type phrase. Society got us to say "gaslighting!" whenever someone disagrees with us but provides evidence to back up their claim. That's what the SJW's do all the time haha.
The novel _1984_ what is a reading assignment my freshman year of high school. The experience was depressing as that was my daily experience in my home. My father was (I now realize) a narcissist, and he attempted to exercise mind control over his three sons, I being the youngest. We all endured stoically (The gray rock response was reflexive). When I became an adult, married, began a 20 year career and a marriage. My father attempted these mind control tactics on my wife. She had a genius level IQ and was too adept. But on the occasion he tried to bully her. I took him outside and told him he would not do that again, ever. I knew every one of his tactics by hard, new each one as he attempted it, and refuted it soundly. Well, he neither apologized to me or my wife for his hostility. She never repeated it. Because of this early experience, I have a nearly reflexive response to lies. I won’t be dominated by them, I have wrist, death rather than submit to them and endured pain for refuting lies.
That novel, and the two movie versions of it, have haunted me my whole life. And now with each passing day I see the nightmare of ''1984'' coming true. Being forewarned does not always mean you can stop it from happening. I expect that book will be outlawed in the near future, and will be forgotten.
In my country, they recently made a list banning or putting restriction into the selling of some books, no one who advocates for liberty got surprised when we saw 1984 among the books in the list.
@@EvilDoer839 It's a lot easier than you think.

@@yourdad6902 What changed? I'm not quite following you. I was not taking a slap at the younger generation. I'm sorry if it sounded that way to you. I'm not saying young people are ignorant. Saying we are all very easily manipulated. Too easily!
Thank you for this detailed explanation (even though I did not personally need it). It does make it even more apparent than it was previously what a complete opus this book was for Orwell. The man had spent much of his life and career prior to this as a borderline socialist, but after 'Animal Farm' showed that the scales had fallen from his eyes, he threw himself into this work with a passion. It's sobering to realize that what he saw in the '40s showed him the possibility that this was the future of mankind ('...a boot grinding a human face...") when so many simply wished to put the horrors of WWII behind them.
In the novel George Orwell describes doublethink as "mental cheating" which to me sounds a lot like self-hypnotising yourself to forget things and dredge it up when the need arrives. I can only theorize why the author didn't just simplify the concept of doublethink as hypnotism (or in some way put me in deeper confusion by stating it is not hypnotism). The book perhaps was years in the making before it was published in 1949. At the time, crude mental treatment such as lobotomy was still a widespread practise in the medical field before it started to fall out of favor at the 1950s with the introduction of psychotheraphy medications. And psychology study only begun in earnest at 1954. Hypnotism perhaps was regarded as a circus trick in his time. Or perhaps didn't have a proper word or detailed description for the practise.
@konnichiwa 💞 I'm at the last chapter now. It's unsettling just how total the government controls the mind of an individual.

"Can a man with a beard tell a bare-faced lie" is a classic case of Doublethink; it's neither true nor false, neither right nor wrong. A classic case of a razor-sharp conundrum. “Reality exists in the human mind and nowhere else.” ― George Orwell, 1984

We saw a good, though scary, example of doublethink in British politics a couple of years ago when Jeremy Corbyn was leader of the Labour Party. Corbyn is a life-long campaigner against racism and for peace, something that's extensively on record and entirely provable. Both his words and his actions reveal him to be a passionate and consistent supporter of ethnic minorities including the Jewish community, as well as someone who has worked tirelessly to try to resolve conflicts in places like Northern Ireland and the Middle East through dialogue and mutual understanding. The British establishment and press didn't want a left-leaning politician as prime minister though, so orchestrated a smear campaign that largely focused on making him out to be, remarkably, an anti-semite and a supporter of terrorism. And it worked; despite all the evidence people bought into it and his popularity, which had been rapidly growing, began to wane. Even now, several years later, any mention of Corbyn is met with groans of "anti-semite" and "terrorist sympathiser". Anti-racism is racism. Peacemaking is driving conflict. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
@@alex-E7WHU Very decent and honest of you to recognise that. Something that I find surprising is how it wasn't just Tories and traditional right-wingers sucked into it, many traditional Labour voters fell for the smear too, and even to this day cling to the notion that he was some rabid racist, terrorist- lover and totally unelectable. Just goes to show how much power the press has to shape opinion.
But modern anti-racism IS racism. True anti-racism is not seeing race at all. Modern Anti-racists preach the opposite, they say that your ethnicity is the most important part about your identity and that different ethnicities should be treated differently according to their "needs"
how do you forget that you forget? if you have forgotten then you have indeed forgotten it, its only when you remember that you did indeed forgotten then what you said is true, wait no, actually if you remember that you have forgotten then that's not forgetting anymore I don't understand understand loll
