We also call this "cognitive dissonance." But Orwell made an art of revealing the phenomenon in real world politics.

I think Orwell improved on Freud in this regard (it seems a subtle addition to the contradictions Freud points out that people need to accept, in order to survive in civilization, in Civilization and its Discontents). This insight is one of the most powerful in 1984, and obviously the concept doublethink has entered the language.
