I’ve avoided putting out any sort of statement regarding my political ideologies because, frankly, I don’t want to defend them. In my mother’s household, any form of arguing was punishable, so I never developed the innate desire to defend or attack. But I’m a grown man now, and quite honestly, I think I’ve learned the difference between debate, arguing, and fighting. This isn’t any of those; it’s just a confession. If you agree with them, then great, you’re my echo chamber. If you disagree with them, then great, you have an opinion of your own. It’s a big world, and it takes all kinds.

O’Brien: “Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
— George Orwell, “1984″

Don’t worry, fellow citizens.

Fellow Amerrkins: Yes, our glorious war has begun. I say we needed to waste this tyrant. Needed to for a long time. Our forces are holy and righteous in the eyes of God. God believes in freedom; freedom from want. Freedom from need. Freedom from choice. Freedom from tyranny. Continue to pray for the safety of our excellent Coalition troops. Keep your eyes opened and raised high; our Office is your best source for news from your Freedom Brigade Coalition.
Remember: it’s going to be alright.
Trust me.
Brought to you by the Office of the Glorious Leader
Return to your lives.
