Part 1: Chapter 7 - Nineteen Eighty-Four
"It was not desirable that the proles should have strong political feelings. All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working hours or shorter rations. And even when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because, being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances."
The Bit is in this chapter. You know. The Bit. You see it on all the memes created by both sides of the debate because they both think the other side wants the Orwellian future. Can you blame me for giving it some welly?
