Quote by George Orwell
Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.
Summary
This quote implies that in order to justify going to war, leaders often portray it as an act of self-defense against a dangerous and irrational enemy. By framing the conflict in this way, they try to gain public support and rally the nation behind the cause. This tactic allows leaders to present war as a necessary response to the perceived threat, rather than an aggressive or offensive action. The quote highlights the manipulation of public perception to legitimize military aggression.
