It's more about SJWs doing SJW things. 2+2=5 was a meme based on them changing objective things like in 1984. SJWs had to take up a position to defend it. They need to convince everyone that woke thoughts are more valid than objective reasoning.

Anybody can believe in the truth, having somebody believe a lie is a show of faith and power.

Orwell was very on point with the language he invented for 1984. Doublethink, believing two contradictory things at the same time. Crimestop, having your brain shut down thoughts before this doublethink is fully examined. Thoughtcrime, being able to think freely and do things like doubt your own doublethink and the regime.

These people know exactly what they're doing and the people under them are useful idiots. When you point out the connections to Orwell, first they will deny them saying "We're talking about something totally different!" and then later they will embrace them saying "IngSoc is more moral than capitalism at least!"

And forcing people to openly support obvious lies is intensely demoralizing.

“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” ― Theodore Dalrymple
