The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

The idea of literally re-writing history in real-time seemed absurd back when I first read it,maybe like 15 years ago.

Nowadays, between media conglomerates (social and legacy), search engines, and now LLMs (as the next tier), being owned by a handful of extremely rich people who have shown time and time again that they want nothing more than to exert control over people...it's entirely possible.

Easy, even.

Federated platforms aren't immune to it. Bot army's swarm reddit and lemmy alike, just as they do mastodon and X. Federated platforms have a bit more capability and interest to fight it, but it really is an arms race at this point.

And also spez (fuck u/spez) would love to suck Dons tiny scarred and pruney cock. If only spez weren't like 30+ years too old for him.
