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

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

Like a “war on terror?”
War on drugs. War on terror. War on crime.
War on wokeness
That’s why Trump is trying to start a few wars in South America
Ignorance is strength
It is when it’s the ignorance of the gullible rubes who prop up your cult.
