No. I agree that it’s equally harmful to ignore and avoid altogether — I watched several episodes of the show, and I’ve read 1984.

My point is that once you get the picture, you don’t need to keep enduring.

I gave the vegetarian example — once I went vegetarian, I stopped watching the footage. It’s the same with anything. There’s no pride in punishing ourselves and it’s that exact sort of skewed thinking that the main characters of the show are encouraged to adopt.
