Orwell and facecrime

edit

It has admittedly been a long time since I've read 1984, but my recollection of the passage was that one could not avoid accusations simply be keeping one's opinions to one's self. That is nothing like dumb insolence, and I could not find anyone identifying the two. I am not surprised at this, since in the novel the point is that the accusations are in some sense false. In any case, a secondary source is needed. Mangoe (talk) 12:50, 1 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
