Doublethink is the act of ordinary people simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy and neutrality. Somewhat related but almost the opposite is cognitive dissonance, where contradictory beliefs cause conflict in one's mind. Doublethink is notable due to a lack of cognitive dissonance — thus the person is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction.
George Orwell created the word doublethink in his dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984); doublethink is part of newspeak. In the novel, its origin within the typical citizen is unclear; while it could be partly a product of Big Brother's formal brainwashing programmes, the novel explicitly shows people learning Doublethink and newspeak due to peer pressure and a desire to "fit in", or gain status within the Party — to be seen as a loyal Party Member. In the novel, for someone to even recognize – let alone mention – any contradiction within the context of the Party line was akin to blasphemy, and could subject that someone to possible disciplinary action and to the instant social disapproval of fellow Party Members.
My initial explanation of how some of the propaganda and rhetoric techniques from 1984, specifically newspeak, doublethink, and thoughtcrime, are used in modern settings to achieve some of the aims of Ingsoc in the book.

The ability to hold two contradictory beliefs in your mind simultaneously while accepting both of them AND knowing when to bring the right one to the surface while casting the other aside. It's a powerful tool. Optimize and actualize: https://brianjohnson.me/membership/?ref=yt

My little dissertation on the recent Social Justice Movement and Third Wave Feminism. Also I fucked up in the middle of the recording, had to splice myself saying that line again. This is just another strike on the "I'm a moron" tally.

Here's a great example of double think thenewkidd found a few weeks ago. I had to add in my two cents. Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYL55OiQKsY
George Orwell defined doublethink as "the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. When it comes to war, spending, and more, President Barack Obama's 2010 State of the Union address showed that doublethink is alive and well in Washington, D.C. Approximately two minutes.

yo listen
okay.
I don't need for you to have long blonde weave down to your knees,
I don't need for you to have the latest boo tissues or Christian d'iore dress,
I don't need in-fact I don't want you to parade around in your underwear and booty shake for me in a video, I don't need for you to sing RnB.
I don't need for you to be an independent woman and I don't wanna be an independent man.
But if we can get along and laugh and talk and have sex and dream and laugh and talk and still like each other.Then maybe just maybe we can depend on each other.
I don't need for you to wear red lipstick or lip gloss or face dust, I like your face just fine as it is,
I don't need for you to paint your nails or to add fake ones i think they look kinda silly,
i don't need to see your cleavage or your thighs I'm still getting over your eyes and your smile and i don't need any more distractions.
I don't need in fact i don't want you to sit a certain way or talk like this or walk like a supermodel, I don't need you to loose weight.
I do need stimulating conversation, its like dead perez said I need mind sex,
I do need to laugh with you, I do need to dream with you, I do need to be able to be honest with you.
Maybe I'm getting old but I'm finding that when you get to know a woman vertically they can be incredibly interesting, inspiring creatures.Just watching you work, watching you think, watching you eat.Maybe I'm getting old but I cant be bothered to follow my dick around everywhere, I'm happy here and to be honest I just ain't got the energy.
Maybe I'm getting old but I feel like its okay to be vulnerable, to be upset, to admit I ain't the biggest, baddest, strongest man on the planet and sometimes I feel inadequate.
Maybe I'm getting old but I just don't need it any more
Yah know...
