| dc.description.abstract | Doublethink was originally inspired by a series of political and geopolitical events that tookplace during 2022 and elements from George Orwell's novel, 1984. Each of the three movements derives its name from one of the three principles of Ingsoc (Orwell's fictional political party): War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength. The movements are each an example of “doublethink” - the act of simultaneously believing two mutually contradictory ideas. War is Peace, inspired by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, starts peacefully quickly descending into cacophony and aggression, before ending in mourning. Freedom is Slavery draws inspiration from the decision by the US Supreme Court to repeal Roe v. Wade. This movement is characterized by percussive sounds of chains and whips, evoking the shackles of this so-called freedom. Ignorance is Strength represents the current domestic political dialogue in America with the ignorance of the people being exploited by politicians. | en_US |
