    He definitely read that line in a book somewhere and went “hell yeah” instead of being horrified (the author’s likely intent)

      It’s from George Orwell’s book 1984 so he definitely listened to the audio book and said, “I wanna be like that!”

      Edit: I was mistaken. The quote from 1984 is “war is peace.” It’s similar though.
