It was well understood, long before George Orwell, that memory must be repressed. Not only memory but consciousness of what’s happening right in front of you must be repressed, because if the public comes to understand what’s being done in its name, it probably won’t permit it. That’s the main reason for propaganda. Otherwise there’s no point to it. Why not just tell the truth?
Noam Chomsky (via fuckyeahradicalquotes)
