Doublethink
"The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them....To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth."
-- George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four
This is a headline pulled from the Internet this morning: "MIND BOGGLING SPIN: PLANNED PARENTHOOD CLAIMS THAT IT PREVENTS ABORTIONS" Now, everyone knows that Planned Parenthood does abortions. In telling you an outright lie that they "Prevents Abortions", a sane mind tries to justify the lie with the truth and when it can't, your mind shuts down on that subject and moves on. Preventing you from realizing that yes, they do abortions and I think that is genocide.
Orwellian doublethink and controlled insanity
In order to control millions of people totalitarian governments find it necessary to somehow prod their subjects into accepting that which is not true. Intelligent people will naturally see the truth and thereby comprehend when government lies to them — and so that's the rub — how does totalitarian government deal with intelligent people when they must be lied to? George Orwell provides the answer — intelligent people must be conditioned to reject self-evident truth — to reject the sanity of common sense — to accept the insanity of Orwellian Doublethink — to accept the lie and the truth in their minds simultaneously — "with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth."
