Hillary Clinton’s campaign memoir includes a questionable interpretation of the central lesson of George Orwell’s novel “1984,” namely that individuals should trust those in positions of authority.
Clinton suggests the goal of the government-sanctioned torture featured prominently in Orwell’s novel is to erode trust in the authoritarian overlords who control all aspects of society.
This perspective is diametrically opposed to the central lesson most readers have drawn from the book since it was published in 1949.
“This is what happens in George Orwell’s classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, when a torturer holds up four fingers and delivers electric shocks until his prisoner sees five fingers as ordered. The goal is to make you question logic and reason and to sow mistrust toward exactly the people we need to rely on: our leaders, the press.”
There is no shortage of attempts to conform the lessons of “1984” to a range of modern political contexts, but Clinton’s interpretation stretches the broad limits of literary interpretation.
The origin of Clinton’s counter-intuitive interpretation of the work is unclear.
Somehow, after reading a terrifying account of government overreach creeping into every aspect of human life and choice, Clinton drew the lesson that individuals should trust the government and information gatekeepers.

It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.
Rune, that is beyond a stretch of the lesson in 1984. Seriously. It's like saying that Fahrenheit 451 taught us to trust firefighters.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

She's not dead yet. Until she is, she is a clear and present danger. America came withing a few electoral votes of having that batshit-crazy bint in the White House, and don't pretend you don't know that some DEMOCRATS want to run her again.
I plan to attend her funeral to make sure she isn't faking. Then I'll get over it.
Sucks 2 b Buck.
