"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."
Checks all the boxes!!
I would have been very disappointed if no one had posted this.
France is bacon
Just call it the Ministry of Truth already.
...and rename Guantanamo the Ministry of Love.
They already did.
Charlie Kirk Memorial Department of Truth.
Nope, not ringing any bells. None at all.
I'll start a Department of Fucking, we will stand for Virginity.
The person who made the Virginia state motto was thinking close enough.
Really, have these jokers read any books? Wow.
Only sections of their bible carefully cherry picked by their leaders. Otherwise you risk independent thought.
I mean from how they speak and post, their ability for language is reduced to the Twitter-level of communication.
Oceania has always been at peace with Eastasia.
It's fascinating how they really just do say the opposite of everything.
They're reading off 1984, and so they knew if they named it the department of peace they'd give the game away
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"
Why didn't they rename it Department of Peace, then?
Because war is peace.
That would be somehow worse
Yeah and the bang bus stands as a symbol for celibacy
Used to be called the magic school bus before Ms. Frizzle decided to change it's name to promote celibacy.
well, ironically...
Up is down! Stupid libruls.
I think this is a nod to Russia "accidentally" sending drones into Poland.
Suddenly article 5 gets triggered and Trump renames the department again to "the department of pacifism" - as the world rolls it's eyes ans gets ready to detach it self even further from the US.
And I grew to love Big Brother.
The Department of “See What You Made Us Do??!”
This is fucking funny.
So many people on the left were like "it's good that we at least call things what they are now", and now we hear this?
It's not good at all. Bunch of insecure, power tripping, drugged up mental teenagers running a country is never good, no matter how you call it.
Trump is mentally six. He's literally bragged about it.
Whatever he says, doesn't change the fact the name change is better than the hypocritical 'DO Defense'
I see stupid people. They don't know they're stupid.
Graveyards are usually pretty peaceful.
They could have kept the acronym and called it the Department of Dominance
Translation: Pete Hegseth hates this but Trump wants it for some reason so he has to go along with it.
The worst part of this is that it will cost taxpayers billions.
Billions is probably hyperbole, but 6 figures is probably the absolute bottom estimate.
You clearly haven't worked for the government or other large organization
6 figures is dirt cheap
1984 Wasn't Meant to be an Instruction Manual!
Now where have I heard that before?
Checks comment stream.
Oh yeah.
Trump is then planning 1000 years of peace on Chicago? (I'm confused by his "threat" of Chicago finding out why its called the department of war)
