Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Trope Workshop Guidelines

Two Minutes of Hate is the practice that people in a certain group are allowed, encouraged or compelled to express their hate against the enemies, mostly defined by the governmental body of the group, while criticizing such practice or the group is discouraged, disallowed or forbidden. While there are different types of "group", the trope is to describe the practice launched and maintained by the government.

The purpose of practicing Two Minutes of Hate, from the politicians' point of view, could be enhance the control of people, manipulating people's cognition, delivering the propaganda for demonization, along with possibly other purposes which benefit said politicians but not the people. (Well... The cognition-altered people believe that the campaign benefits them as well)

While the campaign is often seen launched and maintained directly by the government, the campaign can also be launched and maintained by the cognition-altered people themselves with or without the government's directly involvement.

This trope is Truth in Television. The more authoritative the government is, the more frequent and intense the Two Minutes of Hate campaigns.

  • The origin of the fictional version of this trope depicted in George Orwell's fiction was based on a real-life custom during World War I. Essentially, the British Army would have their own two minutes of hate at times directed at the enemy for the purposes of raising morale against the enemy. Nineteen Eighty-Four would simply be a fictional adaptation of this logic.
