Are you implying social security should be abolished as a result?

Brave New World also speaks of things likely being “thought through” at the highest levels.

In opposite belief, taxes continue to roll in, furthering the oppression gap between peons and elites. The world has more in common with "All is Lost".

It's important because countries like Russia embody this story it's who they long to be and who they've always been and it's ironic that this book is bad in Russia and Belarus the last of the dictatorships.

If you read "We" by the Russian writer Yevgeny Zamyatin, you will see unmistakable parallels between it and "1984." In fact, We was written nearly 30 years before Orwell's book, and it seems impossible to me that Orwell didn't know about Zamyatin's novel, such are the similarities.

When this book was written, when this film was made, screens were not telescreens and did not transmit anything about you to anyone else. Now, everyone's screen is a telescreen.

I just let my smartphone breakdown overtime, and my last adhoc repair didn't work, so its fucking dead. Felt fucking great, like the classroom know-it-all and snitch was out-sick. The only bad feeling was knowing I had to get another one, but...Even if it fucks me in terms of employment, I won't get another one, maybe a flip phone with a replaceable battery and no GPS. Part of the con is thats technically an option, so fuck it, lets see if I can make it 6 months without this shit.

But you can control what the screen shows and you can switch it off. So nothing like a telescreen at all.

For many it'll just be instructions

some will watch it and not understand it, the few that do will realize their own government is very much guilty of this albeit a lot more discreit, and decentralized from the federal government itself given the nature of the economic and legal system that it protects and enforces. Sure it has state media sources like Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe, etc. but not a lot of viewers, so why not have private media companies owned by the people that donate to congress, and are more popularly known to the public recite what their propaganda sources give them for foreign policy, or what people secretly tied to the government through "non-governmental" organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA linked organization, that heavily rely on the government's secret support and funding tell the media what to say. Why send in federal agents on a raid against a political activist when local police will do the dirty work and people can focus on the local pd and officers involved instead of the whole government. Why have a single ruling party when both can work together when it comes to robbing the poor of the nation of their lives, and their money, to increase spending on the security state and giving more cash to mega companies that bribe them both while they use political theater to attack the poor, the minority, the immigrant, the women, the lgbtq+ as inferiors to hate or to pretend to support them without delivering them much in terms of policy, while those wanting to actually address serious economic and political issues are stunlocked into having to take up more battles for democratic rights it takes the heat off the government as a whole as it does a terrific job at preventing people from getting the full picture because they're blinded by the fake, social policy, political tribalism in Washington shown on tv, focus solely on individual government or private organizations or officials rather than the whole government or what part of government the private orgs are indirectly attached to

Strangely enough I too got John Hurt vibes from Winston when first reading the book.

I first read in 1978 and I saw Winston as John Hurt

Except there are few white skinned people left in England today…

This is what the elites in the west dream about implementing

In the UK, it started insidiously from 2000. 23 years later and after the deliberate policy of indoctrinating a whole generation, the dystopian future is here, only to get worse.

We all see Trump.

If a world like 1984 ever comes about, it will not be through sudden revolution, but through gradual devolution. The destruction of our rights and liberties won't come at the barrel of a gun. It will come at the apathetic shrugging of the shoulder to each incremental erosion to our rights.

Yep, such is the point of right wing ideology, it slowly legitimized delusional nonsense like conservatism, and pretty soon we got worse and worse ideologies with increasingly evil and desperate attempts to conserve their supremacist doctrine.

I was 14 when this came out but I didn’t see the film until later on tv.

What you see portrayed in this film and book is only one form of ideology from socialits/communists. To control those by force. (Hitlers vision) Another factoon believes in control by infiltrating media, universities, enterts9nment etc. Which is what we see today. They control words and concepts and redefine them such as marriage, what is a woman, redefine standards in math so minorities do not fail, redefine recession/depression, redefine CDC guidelines and known proven science for decades to fit agendas to name a few.

This means you did not understand the book. Most people don't understand it, especially paranoid people. 1984 is not about the west. Its about countries like North Korea, China or the Soviet Union. The west has a completely other method to oppress. The book that portraits our times in the west is "Brave New World" and not 1984. Brave New World was written in 1932 and it describes todays western society perfectly. 1984 describes an authocratic society in which obedience is guaranteed through terror, torture and, in the worst case, physical annihilation of the individual. Brave New World on the other hand describes a society where obedience is achieved through hedonism, escapism and relativism. In other words: the 1984 society imposes its values ​​on everyone, the Brave New World society denies that real values exist at all.
