@shanghaipreneur, that sounds spot on. If you are the ruler you do as you please. You even amend the terminology and explanation of the process to bend the truth to your will.

I don't like George Orwell's 1984 that much because it is scare tactics/enslavement propaganda but if you look past this you can learn a lot from the book.

In short this is what we all have to face in this reality - 2+2=5
The book and film may seem meaningless but I see more truth in it every passing day
