DOUBLETHINK

Stirring up hatred for the "others"…

being-dismissive-to-downright-lying about your opponent's policies and ideas…

saying the exact opposite of what is actually happening and true…

 

NEWSPEAK

Creating catchy soundbite "solutions" when you know they would never actually work…

relying on jingles rather than judgement…

using archetypal words (homeland, freedom, liberty, etc) to stir unconscious passions…

Are we going backwards? Have we finally made it all the way back to George Orwell's 1984?
