    Sooo… War is peace? Like, literally from the book 1984? Alright, then.

      You know how far right conservatives love to accuse the left of ushering in 1984? Literally every accusation is a confession, it’s wild how predictable it is.

        The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent.

        It is called projection. Hardcore criminals assume everyone must think like they do.

        Well, the same Confederate dipshits don’t even understand that Orwell was a socialist, and want to claim him as one of theirs, so there’s that. Much like they want to cherry-pick MLK and claim he’d be a Republican today, LOL.

      At least in the book the government has an explanation for it. “War is peace” because the local population is much more nationalistic and supportive of the incumbent government when fighting a war. Critics of the government can be declared traitors and enemy sympathizers and locked up without trial. People are also more accepting of rationing and lowering the standard of living in order to support the war effort. The war doesn’t even need to be real. The government can just make up a war and get all the benefits that come from it.

      As if he read the book. This just shows that fascists have no original thought, since every fascist will resort to doublethink to hide their intentions.

    I mean, it’s hard to really be outraged anymore because my expectations are so dreadfully low. Bad faith bloodsuckers say bad faith shit.

    Wow. We’re already jumping to “war is peace”. I honestly thought we had a little more time before full 1984. Fuck it, why not.

    This guy is cringe master supreme. He’s trying to role play as a hardened bad ass but he’s softer than a dairy queen on a hot summer day.

        Florida’s (is it their surgeon general?) said vaccines are slavery so that’s 2, and a certain group going around calling themselves something liberty are banning books and calling it a way to be a stronger and more United country so theres all 3.

    These people can’t tell the difference. It’s all the same, that’s why Trump can’t believe he hasn’t won a Nobel prize for peace.

      He must have accepted that he’s not getting the Nobel. They don’t give Peace Prizes to someone who adds the Department of WAR to his government. That’s not sending the right message of Peace.

        Yeaaah, we’re putting cover sheets on all the TPS reports now before they go out.
