@LilHulkQ I'm surprised it's not the Department of Peace. #1984book

Auszug aus dem Wikipediaartikel zu Orwells #1984book:

"Ein elementares Konzept der Partei zur Kontrolle der Gedanken ist die Kontrolle der Vergangenheit. Deshalb wird im Ministerium für Wahrheit ein gigantischer Aufwand betrieben, alle existierenden Dokumente der gegenwärtigen Parteilinie anzupassen."

Keine Ahnung wieso ich da gerade dran denken musste... https://glm.io/198987?n===

Another successful Universal Basic Income study. There was no drop in productiveness "On average, study participants worked 40 hours a week and stayed in employment" “We find no evidence that people love doing nothing,” instead "their lives were “more valuable and meaningful” and felt a clear improvement in their mental health" since poverty is on purpose to keep us feeling stressed and beaten so we don't fight back #1984book

David Shrigley: Artist pulps 6,000 copies of The Da Vinci Code and turns them into 1984

@phenolfight how NOBODY seems to understand the dire warning of #1984book still, so many decades after it came out, shows so much why we need to understand it. It even encompasses #ClimateChange yet we joke about 'big brother' while completely missing the dire warning we need aoooo badly 🙁
