Do you mean about the protagonist who works for the "Ministry of Truth Social?" And who eventually is taught to believe that 2 + 2 = 5? I think you should go back and re-read it.
Uh... you keep kinda just made my point for me... remember the part where the neighbor ran out of razors, even though rations had been reported as going up. He couldn't figure it out, because he was being told one thing and experiencing something else...
Your gut telling you something, should not be ignored... the entire point of that book is to question the establishment in all things and be able to distinguish between truth and facts* that are provided by the established media.
