I just finished reading 1984 by George Orwell and I do not understand what Orwell is trying to say by, “War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, Slavery is Freedom” can someone please clarify?

    Maybe he means after these things? Like, after war there’s peace, after you become less ignorant there’s strength, and after slavery there’s freedom?

    I haven’t read 1984 in ages, but I’m going to guess. Maybe he means it’s her to distinguish them
