CONTEXT OF THE CHOCOLATE RATION. IN THE NOVEL, THE MINISTRY OF PLENTY ANNOUNCES THAT THE CHOCOLATE RATION HAS BEEN RAISED TO TWENTY GRAMS, WHICH IS MET WITH PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS OF GRATITUDE TOWARDS BIG BROTHER. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT COMES SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE RATION HAD ACTUALLY BEEN REDUCED FROM THIRTY GRAMS TO TWENTY GRAMS JUST A DAY PRIOR. THE CITIZENS, DESPITE THE REDUCTION, ARE PORTRAYED AS ACCEPTING THE NEW "INCREASE" WITHOUT QUESTION, SHOWCASING THE CONCEPT OF DOUBLETHINK—THE ABILITY TO HOLD TWO CONTRADICTORY BELIEFS SIMULTANEOUSLY. MAYBE IF YOU FOLLOW ORDERS; If Obama's domestic use of propaganda law is not reversed. The MSM will get worse and worse, So will the influencers online.
