Creating their own Web

Webs of lies are messy business. After a while, its hard for one to see what is real and what isn't. That is exactly why Big Brother creates a web for Oceania in 1984. We all know that propoganda is a major part in any society like this, but the shocking part is that the citizens are creating the lies that they have to believe.
In Animal Farm, the animals didn't know anybetter than to believe what they were told, but in 1984, thousands of people make a living off of making lies for the records. This is what Winston does; rewrites the history of Oceania. If something doesn't agree with what the Party is currently preaching, it is sent to someone like Winston who has to rewrite the newspaper article or page in the book or whatever doesn't work for the party. It is mind boggling to think that after fabricating such fiction, the people turn around and believe it to be truth.
When they are listening to the big speach at the Hate Week rally, the speaker is going on and on about how they are at war with Eurasia, but in the middle of his speech, Oceania switches over to being at war with Eastasia and allied with Eurasia. He, of course, continues his speech like nothing ever happened and convinces the crowd that they had never been at war with Eurasia and it was Eastasia that they are angry with. They citizens believe him, act like nothing was every any different, and feel embarassed for having anti-Eurasia signs instead of anti-Eastasia signs. It is unbelievable how the entire crowd would just stop what they are thinking and believe something that completely contradicts it.
I am still unable to find an excuse for the citizens of Oceania to swallow the lies that they wittness first hand and also create themselves. It is even more radiculous that this tactic actually works in controlling the masses and keeping them happy.
