I don't get it. I suppose it's from 1984; what was minilove and how does it relate to the headline?
In 1984, it is revealed that the "ministries of" are not ironic nor accidental - they did not become twisted versions of their namesakes. They are so named to intentionally destroy the thing they are named after.
Seems that the commenter suggests that calling it ‘board of peace’ is disingenuous.
Now I get it. I guess I didn't see the most obvious there.
