Idk if you ' re kidding or not , but it ' s a misspelling of minitrue . His whole comment is a reference to 1984 , a dystopian novel by George Orwell . The oppressive government is this book has many ministries , abbreviated to things like minipax ministry of warpeace , minitrue ministry of truth , i . e . the press , and others . He was referencing how the government controls the flow of information in the book by censorship and more extreme stuff while using vocabulary of the language newspeak , something that the 1984 government is pushing to use instead of oldspeak current English . Their motives for this are explained more in the book , but the gist of it is that they simplify words so people can ' t conceptualize ideals they don ' t have words for and thus they control the population even more so . It ' s actually a really good read , especially if you ' re not being forced to read it .
