Orwellian Friday [View All]

[jackstraw45]

Some thoughts from George Orwell for this Friday:


"All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting."


"Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper."


"The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded."


"War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it."


"In accordance with the principles of double-think it does not matter
if the war is not real. For when it is, victory is not possible. The
war is not meant to be won, but it is meant to be continuous."
