You know who actually literally said "If I could get in a room with Hitler I would kill him" -- when Hitler was alive, before WWII had started, when this was at least a little bit a controversial thing to say? George Orwellhttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1292354008674439168 …

And really, even then, it's also Old Orwell being repackaged by Cold War America for public schools Like does everyone forget that when O'Brien gives the Brotherhood Oath to Winston and Julia it says they'll blow up buildings, throw acid in people's faces, strangle babies, etc

And yeah it's a sting deliberately designed to ensnare Smith and make him feel bad in hindsight for the Party's show trials (that are bizarrely elaborate for this totalitarian dystopia where no such thing should really be necessary) Even so
