I trust that every animal here appreciates the sacrifice that Comrade Napoleon has made in taking this extra labour upon himself. Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure! On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?

"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of [BLM and affiliates] and all the odious apparatus of [leftist] rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in [Congress], we shall fight [in restaurants] we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in [our daily lives], we shall defend our [ideals], whatever the cost may be, we shall fight in the [courts], we shall fight in the [schools], we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, ... until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

How many fingers Winston?
At my age, I don't care, 2 +2 = 4!

And here we see, reduced to its barest essentials, Green New Deal math.

yes but the math is not the lesson here. The lesson is blind obedience - nothing less than complete capitulation of your own sanity, your own person and personality to the authoritarian regimes whims. "if we say 2+2=5 then you MUST not merely nod your head in tacit agreement but proclaim loudly that 2+2=5

Your spirit must be broken to our will and it shall be or you will be put to death. THAT is the lesson.

"Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate" - from Dantes' Inferno as he passes through the Gates of Hell. Translated into English - Abandon All Hope all Ye Who Enter Here.

@iThink
It’s part of a larger war on the notion of objective truth. It’s what happens when post-modern deconstructionist thought escapes the universities and turns up in a real world no longer able to determine what that world is. When sll concepts of reality are mere social constructs, there is no objective truth. All that remains is political truth, that which furthers the narrative favorable to your faction.

@Edgework yes all well and true but I reiterate - this lesson is not about truth - nor is it about math nor objectivity. It is about breaking a person down psychologically - breaking his natural impulse to think independently.
