Brainwashing: When Lies Become Truth
This is an analysis of a quote on brainwashing and mind control, from George Orwell’s 1984.
“Everything faded into the mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lies became truth.”
The party can and does what it pleases. Everything is controlled. Everything is constantly being altered. Because the party is comprised on lies and is based solely on lies, it is crucial that the comrades no absolutely nothing about the party’s falsification of reality. The party invents its history, and current events are constantly being modified to such, that people’s mind become so corrupted they become lost in the lies, and their sense of reality slips away from beneath them. Everything is constantly being mixed together, to such a point, where nothing can be distinguished, not a lie from the truth, not a fact from fiction. Everything is written and rewritten so many times, that these lies become the only grain of truth left. Truth is so totally nonexistent in this totalitarian society, these lies, which become reality are the only things left to believe.
