This is what she thinks the section of the novel where O'brien tortures Smith into believing 2 + 2 = 5(or whatever else the party wants it to equal) is about.
Man, she is a fucking idiot.
To those who haven't read it, that part of the novel is about how all political parties brainwash individuals, often by force and often by subliminal means and should never be blindly trusted. The teaching Orwell imparts onto the reader is in fact the exact fucking opposite of what she said. Never trust anyone in a position of control over you. They will lie to you, spy on you and fuck with your psychology.
This kindof explains the Clintons and their legacy in a way. They have no idea what "Orwellian" means at all. She doesn't even remember the name of the characters in the book.
Anyone else find any other weird shit in her obviously unedited book? Apart from the "blame everyone else for my loss" stuff.
The goal is to make you question logic and reason and to sow mistrust toward exactly the people we need to rely on: our leaders, the press, ex-perts who seek to guide public policy based on evidence, ourselves.
