a question on conspiracy theories and how to deal

[zedro]

WAR IS PEACE (without war there is a lack of social cohesion, so war creates unity)
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY (slavery creates actual freedom as you abdicate responsibility to a higher authority)
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH (strength is drawn from avoiding the confusion stemming from ones own incompetent ideals)

Yeah, your recall of 1984 is a little off.  In 1984 the slogans derived from the STS authority which kept everything in check and stable in an STS-type world. So, War Is Peace, was not to create unity, but to create a system of continual lack of resources to keep the masses under control, for example.

Geez guys, I KNOW THAT!!! LOL....that was my point, I was giving a synopsis of how their mottos were used to control....it was in the context of the previous replies. Did anyone read 1984 and interpret it as a good thing? Like ever?

Tower of Babel here lol....I've since added a disclaimer to my original post.
