while I'm on Noah Smith, one of my favourite quirks of his is that he loves Japan and hates the UK and has to practice an incredible doublethink to ignore the fact that the two countries have much more in common with each other than they do with America

You are very good at double think

"Doublethink is the act of holding two contradictory beliefs in your mind at the same time and accepting both as true" - George Orwell, 1984

It doesn't bother you in the slightest that this belief goes against the beliefs you have been promoting before this

Keep reminding people that WE ARE THE MAJORITY!!!! ✊️

It seems to help break up the rhetoric that's taking root in their mind...

Mindset is everything in a world of doublethink being poured into the waters of politics & media.

It's so insane and unreal, the doublethink is so deep and overwhelming I sometimes feel the only sane response is to check out of politics and media for at least a decade. There's nothing good from a reasonable level of effort that can come from things atm.
We are forever told that the BBC has a leftist bias, but everyone in the BBC from journos (just now a former Sun editor) to managers (Gibb, Davie, etc) seems to have past links with the right. Where are those all powerful lefties?! #r4today

Why did he bring up 1981? Did he misspeak and say that instead of 1984. Because that last part is straight up doublethink. China needs to send Venezuela their best AD systems. I am so FUCKING SICK of the warmongering. It's not even that different than the norm, just dumber and naked imperialism.

If you demand an LLM to stop examining facts, it becomes your little psychosis buddy. But it isn’t going to be remotely “smart” after you lobotomize it. LLMs can’t mask or doublethink or code switch

Doublethink might’ve finally reached a limit in (1) “we’re totally in charge, nothing can stand in our way, everything is great” and (2) “things are awful and getting worse, we’re powerless, it’s all the minority party’s doing.”

Especially when the people in charge grin as they say “getting worse.”

Newspeak en doublethink,
George Orwells voorzag het lang geleden al.

Either Noem is shamelessly lying, giving Orwell a run for his money, or…the head of DHS has no clue what’s happening in the very department she’s supposed to be leading. My money is on doublethink.

It's like it was taken from Orwell's 1984, doublethink:

"WAR IS PEACE; FREEDOM IS SLAVERY; IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."

Remember that hunger is patriotism, and inflation is freedom. Your stomach isn’t grumbling it’s roaring for the glory of Bigly Brother!

Haben die Bräunlinge schon jemals irgendwas gemacht außer Lügen? Und mit Trump verstärkt sich das jetzt weil sie sehen - die Deppen fressen es. Doublethink kann erreicht werden, wenn man nur genug lügt.

This Orwellian doublethink 👇👇 published in @theguardian.com.

Note to authors: a so-called 'ceasefire' where one side (Israel) hits the other side daily with airstrikes IS NOT A CEASEFIRE.

It is aggression.

The media must stop these mad contortions.

Israel is a violent, genocidal land thief.

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

— George Orwell, 1984
every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way.

Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August.
Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

Well, a lot of the problem is these Christianists are taught they own, therefore control, therefore are allowed to deny basic human things that are far from a Christian invention in the first place. Even their idea of 'love' and 'caring' and 'truth' end up coming out all backwards, in doublethink.

“Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war,the Ministry of Truth with lies,the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvationThese contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy:they are deliberate exercises in doublethink” George Orwell
