The book 1984 demonstrates how logical inconsistencies can exist and be believed in when you don't have much choice.
It's a book, not a demonstration.
In any case, North Koreans are not taught that South Korea is just like any other part of North Korea. The idea that the North Korean people and leadership are all buffoons who make the weirdest of lies possible is already Orwellian enough.
Well they do don't they? I read a couple of books about life in the soviet union. 1984 is satire, but it's not so far off from what reality was.
And can in fact be a useful test of loyalty.
said loyalty tests become a purity spiral, e.g. who can clap the loudest or cry the most for Dear Leader
