Literally 1984.

This is a textbook example of newspeak / doublethink, exactly how they use the word “corruption” to mean different things based on who it’s being applied to.

Doublethink, but yeah you're right

Corrected !

I only read 1984 once in French 11 years ago, so it’s a little fuzzy 😆

Newspeak and doublethink at the same time, ackshually, but I think everybody gets what you both mean.
