George Orwell describes doublethink as the unconscious acceptance of conflicting facts, principles, etc.
‘The War against Terrorism’
Democracy is purported to be government where decisions are made on the basis of what the people want but all over the world we are forcefully providing that people should live the way we want them to live, not how they want to live, in the name of Democracy.
War is engaging in conflict by force of arms, threat and violent measures. Terrorism is the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce. How can one be used “against” the other when they are one and the same?People who go uninvited, to a country other than their own, shooting, detonating bombs and killing civilians… We call them ‘Terrorists’ when they come here. We call them ‘Heroes’ when we send them.
We have been lead to believe that killing people is bad but also that it is good.
