*The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.*
George Orwell
Current state of the public where everyone sticks to their own echochamber. It's not about left or right or center, it's about 99.99% of the population against the top 0.01%.
Can't be that hard to have a conversation without being passive aggressive.
@@spiritualeco-syndicalisthe207
I'm not against the top 0.01%. I'd like to be there myself, as would most people. I'm against the ruling class who use their power to enrich themselves at the expense of their own people. Undermine and subverting their own nation for money. International rootless groups manipulating policy to enact global power
@@frauleinhohenzollern8442 Well that 0.01% is the ruling class, that's what I meant with "top".
Even if we took it as the richest 0.01%: I don't think that most people desire a life like this, and I think very few people are actually capable of handling such wealth...
Try dealing with reality rather than fiction. If you fail in that regard, you're more Orwellian than you might imagine.
@@frauleinhohenzollern8442
◄ Matthew 16:26 ►
And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?
It’s crazy how this guy can have the foresight of years and years in the future yet most people now a-days can’t see the reality right in front of them

He wasn’t predicting our current situation, he was essentially performing commentary on his own present and where he felt it was going. People have felt this way in every era. People will continue to feel this way long after our generations have gone.
@@caligvla3786 very on point! Orwell was only writing history as he experienced it in the form of fiction
It's because most people are too consumed with entertainment and other distractions.

@@snouu9949 alright sir
I remember in the eary 2000's having my kids read 1984. I thought of it vaguely as a warning but now see it as a prophecy. Orwell was a visionary.
Author…visionry…plus actor
Its about 'Communism'. Not very visionary.....just aware.
@@jessstirland8338 No. it’s not quite about “communism”, but good try.
It’s about an oligarchical socialist government led by an invisible totalitarian named Big Brother.
Please don’t go around telling people that 1984 is Communism. It’s not.
@@jessstirland8338 it is not about communism at all. Not even a little.

" Sheep spend their lives fearing the wolf- only to be slaughtered by the shepherd."

"the slave will protect the master" like the addict will protect the object of their addiction and the dependent will protect the object of their dependency. as long as the slaves continue to identify with their slave masters rather than with other slaves, humanity is doomed.
our slave masters may be on the right or left. they may be black or white, gay or straight, religious or athiest. it doesn't matter. we buy our slave masters' overpriced, police-state products. we believe whatever lies or insanity our slave masters tell us. we comply with our slave masters' every wish and command.
fascists claim having a job makes you independent. THAT'S JUST CRAP! employment is mere slavery and dependence on your employer. people claim govt programs are for our benefit but all it does it increase the wealth of the rich and create a govt dependence for our daily survival.
govt programs are just as slave inducing as employment. WE'RE ALL SLAVES TO OUR ELITIST MASTERS. either we're enslaved to the elite through employment OR govt programs. it doesn't matter if that elite is in the private or public sectors - ITS THE SAME ELITE! they don't care whether we're enslaved by or dependent on them through business or govt. JUST AS LONG AS WE'RE ENSLAVED!
and they use this dichotomy to keep us divided and keep THEM in power. the elite have succeded in turning humanity into a slave species. and we've been falling for this scam for OVER 6000 years! i say its time for a change.
"Censoring information is called protecting the truth."
Wow, if that doesn't hit home for anyone watching this then you're already too far gone.
Reading any government document about anything important shows nothing but long sections full of censored information, and it's there to somehow protect me, but in earnest protects the government.
It's the favorite activity of Twitter and Facebook.
when the govt lies, truth becomes the traitor.
We call it "misinformation". Can't have any of that going around.
Another weird thing that just happened is the new narrative that it was the Republicans that wanted to defund the police, last year. That was a big "WHAT??!!" moment for me.
@@RKZX2 Spot on! Amen brother!
Frighteningly accurate. This man was sent to warn us and we ignored the warnings, and now we pay. Everything he predicted has come to fruition. We are in big trouble and it’s all of our own doing.
Enoch Powell also warned us about certain things and we ignored him too?
We were always going to ignore the signs. Humans are stupid animals but ignorantly think they’re different from the rest of the animal kingdom
Currently reading 1984. I’m astonished by how spot on this book is and I’m only in the beginning chapters.
You need to see the movie as well. It's very scary; it shows exactly how things are going in our world in the 21st century. Especially after enforcing digital currency and eliminating physical money completely. We will live the worst slavery imaginable.
Could you further explain? I haven’t read the book, I have only seen parts of the movie and I thought it was referring to the DDR era in Germany? When communism occurred. That’s why I thought it already happened like that. Please correct me if I am missing something.
@@--RBuo84 I would definitely recommend reading the book or doing research on the book. There are so many foretelling things the author writes about that pertains to what our world could potentially look like in the not so distant future.
He is credited far too much for this book. It wasnt a work of genius on his part because of 2 things.... he was in contact with this life as his father was an official in the British Empire (India if i remember correctly), and also he was greatly inspired by the book 'We' by a guy named Yevgeny Zamyatin, which is an awkward read.
@@eyebelieve3 thank you for that bit of information, I had no idea. I appreciate it.
"To learn who rules over you, find out whom you are not allowed to criticize."

Good one, bud.

He never wrote that line.
For credence sake it is often attributed to Voltaire, rather than the modern day anti-semite who penned it, for obvious reasons. It’s an interesting thought, but there are many examples which disprove it.

I think it's pretty much agreed at this point that we are in a Brave New World type of dystopia. Distracted with pleasures and entertainment, not even noticing the boot.
It's Brave New World morality with 1984 totalizing oppresive state, remember in BNW people were genitically content, just some alphas could even concieve of a different world.
@@Nkrlz I don't disagree with you. I think our actual world is pretty diverse in how it oppresses people from country to country. But I think that in 1st world western countries its eerily similar to BNW.
I mean, maybe. But did the people of 1984 notice it, really? They were unhappy, but they were starkly reliant, on it.
@@mixedmattaphors That's the difference. In a BNW they are happy. I'm pretty sure in 1984 people are just scared to say out loud that their lives suck. But it's an interesting idea. That if multiple generations lived like in 1984, would anyone know the difference after awhile?
Agreed. 1984 is for the dissidents
I read that book 4 times and reading it now. But as long as people go with this it will only get worse people must speak out. We are there now.God help us all
According to another quite famous profetia, America will be destroyed. What might this as serious profetia be ?
Indeed. But one of the first things we need to do is get b by banish this ridiculous idea of ‘god’. Religion is a tool used by the so called elites to control the idiotic masses who believe what they are told. Fascists are also more likely to be superstitious and therefore believe this stuff.
I read George Orwell's '1984', and and I thought then that the symbolic picture of Big Brother watching everyone, and all that was happening was not with reference to our country.
But, truly, we are going through in our own country what George Orwell wrote in '1984'.
We need to pay attention to the warning and core message, 'Let it not happen'. 'It is up to us'. Indeed, it is an onerous and personal responsibility, imperative on each one of us, to carefully guard our right freedom in all its facets.
Yes, except big bro isn't watching us, they just subpoena the tapes!

@@WyldStallion-bs9oo One of their main goals is to remove any idea of objective standard. They cancel advanced math programs and replace them with "data science," stop looking at SAT scores, promote expressing yourself with abstract art, turn every debate into consensus or authoritative appeals, change definitions from one day to the next. It's all connected. When you remove objective standard from the legal system, an individual now has zero protection from the fickle mob, and everything will be justified by "democracy."
"1984" was required reading in high school for my generation. It was supposed to be a warning. Unfortunately, too many took it as a guide.
And 1984 isn’t even read in schools anymore
Because the elites do not want you to know the truth
Orwell looked behind the curtain. It was not OZ he saw. It was all those who would love to be the next Stalin, Ivan the Terrible or Hitler.

I mean really? Why would I want work my way through college? Why would I not want to go play army in the forests of world instead?
Dad died in February 1966.
My Dad was not too found of FDR either.
Also Woodrow Wilson. (Federal Reserve and Income Tax signed into law).
I asked somebody working the checkout stand yesterday would you take a federal government check? Answer, NO.
Then I handed her a $20 dollar bill. "This is a check drawn on the US Treasury. Each bill is a check with it's own account number AKA a negotiable instrument. There is nothing in the account." It's value is based on the price of crude oil.
But you cannot exchange it for crude oil. Gold and Silver certificates remember those?
What an appropriate video for the times we all find ourselves in. I'm 57 and the first time I read 1984 was in 1982 in a highschool English class and I remember saying in a class discussion that that scenario could never happen in the United States. I had the chance to reread it ten years ago and it was startling how many things in the book parallel what is going on in the country and the world in general. I believe 1984 was written after WW2 so it makes it very prophetic indeed.
and 74 years later, we're sliding right into it... without a struggle... sad...
When I first got to the US and started my first year of schooling in the US. My English teacher told us to read "1984" and do a report about it. As a refuge just escaped from communist Vietnam, reading 1984 was a living nightmare. I wrote the report in fear but with high hope that I was in a free country now and it would never happen.
I was wrong. We are now living 1984!
It is people like you who escaped communist countries that may be able to reach those who now think communism sounds like a good idea. Tell them what it was really like and point out how similar what is going on here is to that. It will get far worse, but at least we know what is coming. Get out of cities and go where people are more self-sufficient and less conditioned to go along with all this.
What are you doing about it? Living in fear?
ohh
Yes we need to learn from you. Please continue to speak out, I fear we are heading that way ourselves.
Vietnam was nationalism, just backed by the communism to fight the US n French colonies.
The North never installed fear, they were clear they want their country back and not being controlled by foreigners and become another Asian colony.
Through all the years Vietnam has been invaded by many countries so I understand why nationalism was gaining support.
Ask anyone who were forced into war from the colonies in Asia. Everyone are still against US for taking away their families and forced them into that war.
The South picked the US side and got false hope and promises like Afghanistan got.
History is repeating again.
Facts from my own grandparents and parents who fought in the war.
It's not "becoming reality", we're already in it.
💯👍
Exactly, because they have people believing men are natural women and women are men, And if you say something different, you're a homophobic
SO TRUE 🙏✊ UNBELIEVABLE 😭😭
This is exactly PRECISELY what I came here to say
Yes, and we can still stop it
One voice against this type of control is not enough. We must all be united in our rejection of totalitarianism. United we stand divided we fall !
As Ben Franklin said, "A Constitutional Republic is a good thing, if you can keep it!" Any government deteriorates with out checks and balances.
We sleep walked into 1984 years ago, we just didn't realize it would be dressed up as social media. Big brother really is watching you!
Yes. They not going to enslave us with a neck collar or ankle monitor but with a device that everyone WANTS, and NEEDS, and DESIRES. We will stick our head in the noose willingly and cinch that rope tight with our own hands.
Social Media is the equivalent of 1984's "Telescreen". Big Brother are apts like Tic-Toc.
Big Brother is the self made purgatory of fools promulgating all the stupid issues that occupy woke adolescents.
There's only one party that wants a massive authoritarian government which wants to infringe on your rights. It's the Democrat Party. Oh and I was one of them for 23 years. But they did not used to be this they used to be the antithesis of what they are now.

Writing an essay on this subject for school. One thing I think's interesting is that it isn't only the government who can easily see everything you do online, it's also companies. This is something Orwell couldn't imagine when he wrote it, but companies hear everything you say and know so much about you. I remember my brother telling me about a teenage girl who started getting loads of pregnancy test adverts and it turned out she was pregnant. Tiny changes in your behaviour online tell so much about you. It's terrifying.
An important part is that these things you speak of government and companies and the public in general can see what you do online..not through some secret method..most of the information is given willingly through social media...given 10 minutes I can select a person and gather a huge amount of personal information about that person..
I have been in IT (Database designer iis my forte i am involved in all facets of software) for over 40 years.i have been screaming at people to not share their entire life online..but of course no one listened ...and now they are angry that that information is being used against them...
A few years back i was part of a software development team that created an app that allows large corporations that are promoting or hiring someone for middle or upper management (including C-Level) to do a complete search on all social media platforms and flag comments or posts they have made that would be concerning to the company..the results of something like this is teens and 20 somethings make an edgy inflammatory posts and then 20 years later they cannot be promoted and are stuck in a low end job...
This started in the early days of the internet thinking that you can be anonymous on the internet..that myth was never true from the begining..with the spread of social media millions of people decided to share their private thoughts and daily tasks ..then those same people yell and scream when companies and or the government use that information for targeting or advertising etc..
The story you said about a teen girl is definitely plausible ..with a billions data points companies can make interesting comparisons..lets say a teen girl gets pregnant and after she has the baby of course she talks about it on social media ...a company can take that information and track back 9 months and look at what she was doing online..build a standard profile and anyone that fits that profile online gets hammered with targeted advertising..
It's terrifying to see so many themes of this book becoming part of reality in present day. Not knowing what to think, being dependent on the society to guide you with ideas and being so malleable to readily accept them as your own, how accurate all this is playing out.
Predictive programming. You've been played.
I'm reading 1984 right now, george Orwell was spot on when he said, in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act , it's happening all around us in these days.
Look how they abused Trump! Trump knew if their corruption he knew he could slow it down and WE would win. We were indeed winning , things were so good even North Korea shut up.
... and telling the truth will be villified
A woman was taken to the police station to be questioned as to why she was praying silently outside an abortion clinic. The thought police already exist! Happened in the UK.
True. Look at people who are admired today. Trump, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan etc. These people are mostly admired for just telling basic truths. I know that Peterson is well educated and all, but thats not why he is admired
PLEASE CONSIDER, BRAVE NEW WORLD (HUXLEY), THE PRINCE (MACHIVELLI), LORD OF THE FLIES (GOLDING), DON QUIXOTE (CERVANTES) THE LITTLE PRINCE (SAINT EUXPERY).
I read 1984 in the year 1984 as a junior in high school. I remember thinking this sort of thing would never happen in America. We love our freedom plus we have constitutional protections.
Boy did I have a lot to learn.
Being forced to take an injection that someone has chosen for me ....or starve tells me that freedom was just an illusion.

@@christo2690 desperate men do desperate things....When millions of men and women soon find themselves without work, the ability to support themselves and their families because they will not be forced, threatened or coerced into being test subjects for new medications or "vaccinations" the bloodbath will begin. With this mandate ,the door is open for many other 'mandates" based on the emergency of the day. Born free, perhaps but no longer living free. When was the last time you heard a U.S. president tell a national audience that "this is not about freedom or personal choice"?? The cornerstones of the very foundation upon which this nation was built. Let the games begin.... If your employer has 100 or more employees then all must be vaccinated or you're employment will be terminated!! Soon employers with any employees will be forced to follow suit. The objective is to starve us into submission. It's safe..take it all the while ignoring the injuries and deaths these vaccines have caused thus far. What are the long term negitive effects, say 7,9 12 years down the line?? They don't know because no long term testing was done??...benifets, risks and alternatives must be discussed with a patient, without this being addressed then the patiant can not give INFORMED CONCENT...but it's not concent they're after now is it. If I do this....it will not be by choice, it will be under duress via threats and coersion, how is that freedom??...
My dad, when he was still living, had me read this book 45 years ago;
I did not think much of it at the time he had me read it; but now, it makes sense.
I gifted 1984 to many in my family Christmas of 2020. I hoped it would break through their sheep-like behaviour. My efforts success was marginal. I believe that waking up takes time.
Most people are too afraid to ever wake up.

The most frightening aspect of recent events is the way that a startling amount of people actually welcome their oppression and work actively to facilitate it. We have seen people widely accept perversion and de-humanisation out of fear, which I would have thought would have crossed a line if asked a few years ago. The question has to be asked: where is the line?
It is unbelievable to see how easily modern humans are controlled by the existential void inside.
The quickness of how quickly the masses are fighting for tyranny surprised me

Hello, I'm French and our gov is presently trying to create a distinction between people with that crazy "health pass". A passport that you have to carry everywhere to enter almost everywhere-even at the hospital ! Where some people have more rights than others. This is happening everywhere in Europe and the fact that it is so is the justification for all the countries to do the same thing. In Italy and other countries that's working pretty well but in France… not at all. A lot of people are protesting, and more and more each weekend, and I hope that our determination will not decrease until this thing will be removed. I stay hopeful.
You can see on YT what the protests look like by searching "manifestations massives contre le pass sanitaire vue aérienne". This is only a view of one of the three protests in Paris. And there are 250 protests around the country every weekend.
Well said
I remember reading this in college, having no idea what it was about and wrote a book report on it. That was 20 years ago. Had no idea it would be so prescient today.
I read this back in 2015 and could see how much things aligned with the world even after the 08 world economic crisis. Which almost feels like it was the moment in which we allowed ourselves to slip into this nightmare.

Trouble here is that there are far to many buying into it and are doing just that, going along with the fear. They can get the vaccine and jam it up their arse because I won't be taking it.

Do you realize how many people think Big Brother is just a "reality" TV show and know nothing about 1984, George Orwell or the danger we are in? This channel and others like it plus the like-minded people who are here watching, are so important to our future! The writing is certainly on the wall...
now that i read your comment, i realize how cynical that name is and how anybody would like that name for an entertainment show. pretty creepy.
The arrival of the TV show with that name was a very bad sign. And a cynical and disturbing form of “entertainment”.
I watch it because it is like modern day social bloodsports. A great show of the human spirit of deceit as well as honesty.
I dislike the name too because it makes the warning into a reality show and that is one step closer to real reality.
Iv always said that it was The OPENING of The DOOR to the REAL BIG BROTHER as we let Him In our Homes (WHERE) in our TVs!!
Careful, Gender neutral Non binary older sibling is watching.
Freedom... Many people prioritize money for their lives. Some put family at the top of the list. Others maybe enjoy new tech gadgets and video games and orientate themselves that way. But, if you value Freedom, *true FREEDOM, you look within yourself, and don't externalize your validation.
i.e. 'I might lose my job if I don't do (insert reason)'... **I'm prepared to lose it! if I don't approve of (insert reason!)**
Edit: As you pursue your proclivities, your life begins to take shape. Certain actions reinforce others. A common thread begins to weave its way, connecting the moments and events of your life. All of your decisions influence whether there is a firm scaffolding that supports your modus operandi or a house of cards that comes tumbling down once the jack boots begin their march.

Becoming? It's been 1984 for quite a long time, but most could not see it. Now it's impossible to ignore or deny.
It definitely became 1984 when they passed out those Obama phones, now the mass were able to be tracked
Things that don't happen:
TVs aren't CCTVs
TVs can be turned off
Government propaganda - while existent - is not nearly as prevalent as in 1984
People are allowed to enjoy sexual intercourse
Reproduction isn't governmentally encouraged or mandated
Facts aren't constantly being changed
People aren't snatched up for speaking up against the government
Doublethink isn't implemented as a common philosophy
People aren't being tortured or brainwashed
People aren't being publicly executed
There are more than one party
Etc.
Honestly, the fact that they were capable of pointing out that something is supposedly like 1984, you know it's definitely not true. Because in 1984 the person saying it would be dead.

Thank you for this synopsis of his book. Its very well done and easy for the youth to understand.
It's kind of a mind-blowing content right here. This video is a real eye-opener, it tells and draws parallels between our current society and the dystopian world of 1984.
It showcases how totalitarian regimes instill mass fear and maintain control over citizens through force, propaganda, and surveillance. The constant monitoring of citizens, the culture of suspicion and mistrust, and the manipulation of information have created a state of confusion and disorientation. This video is nothing short of a wake-up call, and Winston's story in "1984" serves as a timely warning against the dangers of totalitarianism.
The bottom line is we must remain vigilant against the encroachment of totalitarianism and fervently defend the principles of truth, freedom, and individual autonomy.
Or at least try to…
When an Economic Elite decides it knows what is best for humanity, that's when you have trouble on your hands, and that's when the battle begins.
And that's where we are now.
Unfortunately that's where we have been for as long as we have been in social groups, the main difference now is that because of the Internet we all see it more clearly now but nothing has changed except our view of said social structure
Yh nerds creeps like gates
Unfortunately, this battle will be much more difficult to fight because it’s worldwide. No place to escape, and no foreign army will come to our rescue (or at least fight alongside with us) The solution: people around the world need to wake-up and stand together to protect their freedom.

I have a friend who grew up in communist East Germany. One thing that he said to me in passing during a conversation has never left me: "Die politische Landschaft ist ein Kreis." (The political landscape is a circle.") By this, he meant that whether a society starts from the left or the right, if it lurches far enough from individual liberty, the end result is the same--totalitarianism.
Wisdom.
Danke! ✌🏼That describes it perfectly.
It is our compliance, not their mandates, that is an existential threat to individual liberty.

Spot on, my friend. Well done.
Orwell did not predict, he knew from the inside. He's just telling about the plan that he knew, not calculating probabilities.
I found out the other week that my Dad had never read 1984 so I gave him a loan of my copy. Almost as soon as I gave it to him I was like "You know, I should probably read through it again myself", not least because it was seeming to me that this book was looking more and more like a prophecy than a work of fiction the way things are going in the world, so I got a hold of the audiobook and listened to it over the next few days while at work. I think it's too late, I think we are there. I'm not saying it's not worth every bit of effort to fight this shit, it is worth it, but I see no signs of anyone around me taking any notice of what is going on right in front of their nose and when you try and show them what is glaringly obvious if you only pay a tiny bit of attention you are called all sorts of names, insane this, conspiracy theorist that. So sad.
I agree with you, society has slipped into a comatose state and is allowing us all to be drawn into this black hole of totalitarianism. The restrictions being imposed because of a virus, the removal of statues and attempts to rewrite history, the renaming of streets in cities, the mass surveillance of camera's everywhere 'for your safety', and now you must carry electronic certificates on your mobile device. Anyone who can't see the direction this is leading is in denial.

I always considered '1984' one of the most terrifying novels I have ever read. It's terrifying because it precisely describes the mentality of the elites who actually control our societies at present. They really want to create a world like the one described in the book, modified by the technology that is now available but which didn't exist in Orwell's time.
Also scary is that Hillary Clinton has said that 1984 is her favorite book. More of a how-to book for her.
It was so terrifying to me that I wasn't able to complete it. It was terrifying to imagine such a hopeless world. Unfortunately, it's all coming true.
They can't bring their dystopian ambitions to fruition unless ppl comply, en masse. Unfortunately they're dumbing ppl down, ensnaring ppls' minds and lives to comply.

“We are all equal, but some are more equal than others” that quote from Animal Farm resounds in my head every time I think about the political and social state of United States.
Don’t worry.
The kind of authoritarian control that Orwell was concerned about isn’t part of our reality in the free world. We’re, luckily, still miles away from that.
Is there things to be concerned about in our reality, that are also things Orwell warned about ? Absolutely - the level of surveilance we are all under is very close to what Orwell feared, and it’s exactly as dangerous as he feared. Some would argue that it’s not the same because it’s private companies that are doing the surveilance - but I don’t agree. It doesn’t matter who is watching you, if you’re being watched that is already bad. Nor can they make the usual “in capitalism every transaction is mutually beneficial” response because there is no transaction, we are not the customer, we are being turned into the product.
And finally, since they are all too happy to sell access to the data to anybody who will pay (that’s why they collect it), the government can always just buy their own access, so you’re being watched by the government as well anyway. It’s interesting that they’ve made significant efforts to try and avoid ever handing data over under a court-order or warrant, for example by storing everyone’s data in a different jurisdiction to where that person lives. I’m an incurable cynic about rich people - I don’t believe they did that out of any concern for privacy - they ARE the reason we don’t have any - they did that, because they want governments to have to BUY access to what they surveiled, not get it for free under a warrant. They just didn’t like having to give away their product without getting paid.
We may not be living in Orwell’s reality as I stated - but if anything could get us there, products like Alexa is what will.
A temporary stay-at-home situation due to a pandemic ? Nah. Societies have dealt with things like this for literally thousands of years, quarantine orders date back to plague outbreaks in the middle ages. The first stay-at-home order in America was issued under the very first congress and signed by President Washington when then capitol Philadelphia lost half it’s population in a cholera outbreak.
Nah, COVID-19 is not Orwell’s reality - it’s very far removed from it. Being constantly observed by companies that do not have our best interests at heart, now THAT is straight out of 1984. It’s far from enough to say that we’re in that reality, but it’s a dangerous step in that direction.
@@bdfwhhsb @@bdfwhhsb Agree with everything you said, but I'd like to point out on top of what you said that the reason people are so afraid of being "on the road" to 1984, rather than de facto existing currently, is a moot point. Because once you hit a certain point of going down that road, it's impossible to stop the inevitable. What would be the point of waiting until you actually are in 1984 and THEN trying to do something about it? I remind anyone reading this that 1984 didn't have a happy ending
"Never trust a man who says, 'Trust me.'"
@Joseph M...think you missed whats going on somehow...we are ALREADY in 1984 type Orwellian control 🙄🙄

The best way to predict the future is to manufacture it. The capitalistic Lords told you upfront via Orwell what they were going to do to you. In satanistic organizations, telling people what will be done to them and receiving no real opposing response from the people means that the people give their consent to what the satanistic organizations are going to do to the people.

This is truly horrifying and I see all of this taking place in reality more and more. When I was a teen in the 90's the whole idea of adopting any kind of label was just not happening, we rejected it. Todays youth not only loves labels but will make up more to tack on to themselves like standing out and being unique or an individual is wrong somehow. It is the craziest shit to watch take place. The hivemind mentality they possess also is mind boggling to me. Truth, facts, reality can not be "subjective" for any society to succeed.

Hive mind mentality? Oh, you mean how 74 million people think Trump was sent by god? Or the millions that believed everything written on a blog site by a random stranger who went by the name "Q"?
What are you talking about? Labels definitely existed in the 90s. Maybe you personally didn't use labels, but that doesn't mean that nobody was. More than that, labels usually exist to describe an experience someone is already having. E.g. I was bi before I labeled myself as bisexual, in the same way, a heterosexual is attracted to the "opposite" gender even if they don't label themselves as straight specifically. A label exists to describe an experience that is already taking place.

Orwell’s 1984 was a book I read in high school. The amazing mind of George Orwell was, in my opinion, far more advanced for that time period. It’s almost like he travelled through time to now and wrote the book after returning to the 1940’s.
It s scary what is happening in our world today.
You should read Neil Postman. He compares today's world against the dystopias described by Huxley & Orwell.
Orwell had first hand experience with the communism he speaks of in Nineteen Eighty-four, during his time in Spain, fighting on the Republican side in their civil war. It was that experience that led him (a renowned socialist) to write Nineteen Eighty-four and Animal Farm.
@@MK-ih6wp I only read a few quotes by Postman but I gather he says Brave New World is what we live in and not 1984, but it's actually both, and he's too fixated on condemning this or that 'distraction' or entertainment, when entertainment is a normal thing. The fact that it's been hijacked in the last few decades by perverse and insane people so that now it has no sensibilities and is saturated with everything gross and graphic should be what we should be condemning. Also, that lack of sensibilities is a reflection of society in the past few decades, which has been hijacked by the same people, the extreme left, which is most of the left, which has radicalized and desensitized society, so the abuse of those who oppose tyrany, plutocracy, and conspiracies is not very surprising.
It was basically the holocaust with more technology. Not very futuristic, just history repeating itself.

Imagining a TV screen in everybody's pocket or right in front of their face at all times, would be too much to ask for your basic Totalitarian Tyrant. We've fallen down the rabbit hole and we live in a matrix of fear and instincts.
Indeed, the surveillance technology is much more advanced than in the 1984 system.
The scary thing though is that other aspects are becoming reality- manipulation of history, altering language (in the name of political correctness, a term which upon closer examination is totalitarian in it's very nature), dumbing down of proles (TikTok etc.), upper middle class becoming more and more composed of ideologically pure servile people (these vegan creeps totally brainwashed into political correctness, unable of forming their own thoughts, participating in "cancelling" their fellow citizens on the screens for the slightest going out of line), upper class (the inner party) flying on private jets, living in huge mansions dictating universal poverty onto others in the name of "climate and equality".

Never answer their questions...EVER! TURN THE TV OFF! These are just a few things you can do...I have and do many things for peaceful freedom. KNOWLEGE IS KEY!
Too much division and distractions, only a few who see what's going on care.

Social media has become the new party
The earth is flat
Try said, "What you're seeing and hearing is not what's happening". Sounded familiar. Glad he lost.
@@susanmattinglyhatfield9036 Fools like you are the reason we are in this utter mess today. You were literally told to what to believe by the media elites, and you lot bought it hook, line & sinker. ALL of it has been proven to be the steaming pile of -shit- *lies* that it is.
I live in deep blue, "progressive" Portland, Oregon. More and more people here are regretting voting for the barely-there venal house plant that's currently in Office today. No sane person can sit here and defend this administration with a straight face. Its pathetic, empty-headed buffoonery of the highest order. Biden is a venal, corrupt old politician who's masquerading as a moderate but actually acting as a trojan horse for radical extremist policy. That's what this presidency is and he's demonstrating it daily. He’s a joke. He’s the face of a decaying authoritarian bureaucracy that wants to control every aspect of your life while celebrating itself.
@@kentuckyjohnson7394 nah, it's clearly cubical
Sadly when I talk to many people they don't even realize they are living it.
if we're living it how are you allowed to say we are?
@@huhbooh well just look at what's going on with your governments trying to take away your freedom of speech. Trying to pass hate laws. Laws about what you say about the government that you don't agree about. Trudeau for one wants to hire thought police for what you might think or may think in the future. Not only Canada the U.K. Listen to the news.
In my most recent and particular bout of severe paranoia, as triggered by a malignant narcisstic psychopath at the individual level. Where trauma and abuse rattled my soul and catapulted me into temporary insanity. Thank God I have come to awareness and recognition of subconscious shadows within me. My cell phone had me terrified that I was being recorded and followed by purveyors of evil.
You're unstable
Lay off the psychedelic substances, my friend - they will do you little good !! Even if it's only a temporary respite. Anxiety and paranoia can easily be triggered in those who indulge- and continue to do so !
