Content: Two Minutes Hate was routinely performed on a daily basis by all Party members. During these two minutes, members are forced to scream and express feelings of hatred towards the Party’s enemies. Although it is called “Two Minutes Hate,” its purpose is to divert the initial hatred of individuals towards Big Brother and shift it towards the Party’s enemies.
