    This is beyond double speak. It doesn’t even need to make sense anymore. As in, like, they don’t even need to form a complete, coherent sentence anymore.

    They don’t need to. They’ve had far more success with the big lie than anyone ever expected, I believe.

      double speak and double think didn’t need to make sense. The key to them is accepting directly contradicting statements as equally true as long as the party puts them out. The total ignorance to contradiction is the key.

        Right, but in 1984, there was at least a syntax to it that made sense. Double plus ungood makes sense because “ungood” means “bad” and “double plus” means “extra”, etc. There was a logic to it.
