Ministry of Truth.
- We've always been at war with Eastasia.
  
  Eastasia? Our noble allies in the struggle against Eurasia?
  
  Someone like you will eventually become an un-person.
- WP Context: In 1984:
  
  The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue) is the ministry of propaganda. As with the other ministries in the novel, the name Ministry of Truthis a deliberate misnomer because in reality, it serves the opposite: It is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. However, like the other ministries, the name is also apt because it decides what "truth" is in Oceania.
- “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” – Party slogan
- My first thought too
The american Tiananmen, when you'll ask chatGPT what happened January 6th, it will answer "nothing happened".
- “A Trump rally was held outside and Antifa stormed the capital building”
  
  "That's only one photo, they were actually coming out of the building in the video"
  
  "This event occurred about 1000 miles from the Gulf of America"
- just a bunch of impassioned tourists that "antifa" infiltrated.
Somebody posted a reverse Tiananmen Square copypasta, where it contained all the talking points that the American mass media and government hates, and this made me think of that. Soon, Chinese trolls will be cutting our internet connections by asking about J6.
Stop calling these terrorists "rioters".
Really hoping this ends up having a streisand effect
- Marjorie already caused a mini-one with her shrieking meltdown.
At least one has already been re-arrested and another one got himself killed during a traffic stop.
