The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.
Exactly! I spent my whole life thinking that if my country is always at war then something is going wrong.
But what if America is just so fucked up that the only way to minimize damage to itself is literally to just always have a meat grinder to throw men into. You know, because it literally cannot produce a functionally moral majority of people.
You know, completely ignoring the cost of human life to the rest of the world.
