        I recently had an interesting discussion where someone interpreted the pessimistic ending as a result of successful in-universe propaganda from the Party, and that all the shit they said was just gaslighting and lies to make themselves seem omnipresent and make resistance seem hopeless.

        I don't think this was the intended message but the author is dead, we can make up our own head canons and no one can stop us!
