[…]cause when the victors rewrite history,
it’s just another kind of war,
waged after the battlefield killing
is done…
to murder the memory of the defeated.[…]#AlteredCarbonpic.twitter.com/WP4keYV8tm
And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -if all records told the same tale..
then the lie passed into history and became truth…
‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future:
who controls the present controls the past.’ And yet the past, though of its nature
alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting
to everlasting. It was quite simple.
..and then the chosen lie would pass into the permanent records
and become truth… –George Orwell’s novel “1984”
“Nature is not immoral when it is without pity for the degenerate.”
