The Meaning of: "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength"

Via Bill

 

A friend of mine emailed to ask me what "war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength" means. My plan was to do a quick Google search, choose the most compelling answer and send him the link. To my surprise, I was not able to find the correct explanation anywhere. Though intelligent and complex answers, in my opinion, none of them was correct.

(The following article is based on George Orwell's novel entitled 1984. I will keep the article as spoiler-free as I can for those who haven't read the book yet).

  2. I feel like getting even more depressed. Just found this 1984 movie on Youtube. After I watch the new Viking episode I recorded, then I will watch this version, which is supposed to be the better one:
