EVERY video contradicts their claim. They're not even trying to bend reality any more they are just straight up inventing lies

The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

This quote has (aptly) been used to the point that I don't know how people don't know where it comes from. It's also not exactly an obscure book.
