1984 SPIEGAZIONE FINALE
_Doublethink_
Believe two ideas even if they are contradictory
You say that black is white when the party demands it
And you have the ability to believe that black is white and to forget that you have ever believed the contrary
Individual is no more able to have in depend thought
People can no longer recognize contradictions and so they simply accept every idea presented by the party
