"In Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, "2 + 2 = 5" is a mathematical falsehood that symbolizes the Party's power to control its citizens' minds. It's also a motif linked to the theme of psychological independence.
Explanation
2 + 2 = 5" is a simple logical error that's obvious to anyone who knows basic arithmetic.
In the novel, the Party announces that "2 + 2 = 5" and citizens must believe it.
Winston Smith writes that "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four".
After Winston's torture in the Ministry of Love, he traces "2 + 2 = 5" in the dust on his table."
"The plot revolves around the ritualistic selection of a “winner” through a seemingly random draw, leading to a shocking and gruesome climax. The setting, a quaint village with ordinary people engaging in a ritual that turns dark and horrifying, creates a stark contrast that intensifies the impact of the narrative."
They already know how ridiculous the current policy is, but they like the idea that someday they will be able to vote, and in the short term, affect census data, and become a drain on the social support systems (and therefore, justify their ever increasing request for more taxpayer funding of those social systems)
These "parody" accounts cannot be trusted. At best they are grifters. Worse, some of them could be DS puppets just waiting for a critical moment to spread disinfo.

so simple even a liberal democrat could understand it ...you would think
They cannot add 2+2
I remember this arithmetic from back in 1984.
The answer is 5....
Hell no. I remember from 1986 and it is 4.

Oh. I am sorry. Howls.
yes, many younger people wouldn't get it. common core students aren't required to read such books like we did in the 70s-80s
My 4th grade class watched this after lunch one day, AND we had to discuss!
it's called the Lottery

Maybe OP can correct me if I’m wrong?
