Isnt that a quote of the voice of London from v for Vendetta?

    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.

    1984, and a bunch of fascist dystopian writing.

    It's a riff off the sign above German concentration camps gates.

    Arbeit macht frei "work sets you free"

    I would honestly love to know which moron thought that was a good use of time and money and why.
