1984

From the movie 1984...

"In accordance to the principles of Doublethink it does not matter if the war is not real or when it is, that victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labor. A hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects. And its object is not victory over Eurasia or Eastasia but to keep the very structure of society intact."
...
"There is truth, and there is untruth. To be in a minority of one doesn’t make you mad."
...
I understand how. I don’t understand why."
