My grandfather recently passed away and while looking through his stuff I found a book called "Why We Fight: The War Against Eastasia," published by the Minipax.
Am I missing something here? Haven't we always been at war with Eurasia? Can someone help me with this?
Oh, that is quite an interesting discovery! I would very much like to see this artifact in person, I could also help you better understand what it is you have found. Of course it is utter nonsense, because we have always been at war with Eurasia, it's nothing you'd need to worry about.
Please come visit me at Miniluv, 3rd floor, room 101. Any time you'd like.
We have always been at war with Eurasia. The authorities from the Ministry of Truth are on their way now to take care of this dangerous piece of libel. Please cooperate with them, and report to the Ministry of Love tomorrow at 8 am for reeducation.
Don't be silly - we have always been at war with Eurasia.
Don't be silly - we have always been at war with Eastasia.
Utter nonsense; it is common knowledge that we have always been allied with Eastasia against the Eurasian menace. What you've found it obviously some sort of fictional work. I'd report it to the local authorities if I were you.
Words in thread plusungoodwise oldspeak. Oldspeak proleful. We unprole. Newspeak to bellyfeel Ingsoc. Newspeak to luv bb.
Quick! Don't listen to the other commenters, you have to read 'The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism' by Emmanuel Goldstein before its too late.
Only one word on this topic: Thoughtcrime.
Huh? War against Eastasia? I think you must have misread the title. It clearly says war against Eurasia. Plese report at Miniluv with the book in question, and ask for partymember 5432. Failure to do so is crime.
This is obviously the work of Eurasian spies. Please report this slander to the Miniluv doubleplusquick.
Book is doubleplusungood. Causes crimethink and ownlife. Book is case of malreport. Burn quickwise.
I'm not sure why you're confused. Of course we're at war with Eastasia. We've never been at war with our allies in Eurasia. Your grandfathers book is historic proof of this. You were simply mistaken about our alliances.
Haha! You have clearly found one of the rarest items available today - what might be considered a "fantasy" writing, using one's imagination. This was once an honored tradition that encouraged one to ponder the ramifications of alternate timelines, to try to realize the disastrous course that different decisions would have led us to.
However fantasy has long since been recognized as a productivity killer and a waste of the thoughtpower owed to your nation. A quick scan of the sources in my state-sponsored library indicate that one should never become entangled in a land encounter with the Eastasians. Our allied status is ironclad. Eurasia is the only enemy.
The book is plusungood. It's a mistake or forgery. We have always been at war with Eurasia. Please deposit the book in the nearest memory hole quickwise and review your studies in doublethink.
