  • This video is a good supplement for students studying 1984, with footage taken from the movie. Clarification: In the movie, Winston Smith meets O'Brian alone, but in the book, both Julia and Winston meet O'Brain.

      Now, if FB was a government company and policed what all was said and came to arrest you for thought crimes then yes...
      Such things will never happen in America.. Not to say that some won't try.. There are some in Washington now who would like to see a totalitarian state.. They're called Democrats.. But the real name is Radical Left, or Communists.. Now as for the media, they are just useful idiots.
      Party sycophants who pose as journalists. Political activists pretending to be news, but is just a propaganda ministry.
      Beware of these people for sure.
      Best to just ignore them all together knowing they're full of shit and liars.. And they know they're lying. But they've been convinced that it's for the greater good.. They've obviously never read about what the commies do with the useful idiots after they've served their purpose.

Everything and everyone is dumbed down. People are just the ever workers of the goverment. The dictator wants success for himself and the country.
      On facism, the dictator wants success on it's people and the country and keep himself in power and silence oposition and kills other races and wants his people to be strong and perfect. Either way, they are both dictatorships so there isn't freedom in either.

I fought it all the way too. I fought for closing the borders in January, I fought the panic buying, and I fought against keeping the lockdown and for reopening business back in April. Why was I months ahead of the vast majority of people? Because I watch Styxhexenhammer on RUclips, and through him I had access to Real News.

Sooo...here he is....serving the Elite like a dog in a leash to destroy America by divide and conquer and hasn’t he done just a splendid job of that??! But it’s obvious they, the real Elites, really can’t stand the guy and seriously would NEVER give him a Monarchy...much as they have all rulers of all colonized countries. They made the House of Saudi..and gave it to the Elite Arab family’s in the region.. But trump and his ilk are likely to get a bullet to the head much like the 7 or 8 family members of the Romanov family in Russia after the Russian Revolution. Which..btw...was done by the SAME ppl causing all this stir up and chaos today! 8/03/2020. The Crown, the Vatican and the MIC. Which is world wide.

    I lived at a house that had 12 outside cameras because the owners wanted to watch what was going on with their house/property. I was the caretaker and had rules I had to follow to live there. Some rules like no guests, I couldn't use the A/C or heater (heck i lived in the high desert in CA and it was in the 100's in summer and freezingin the winter). Later on after a few years of living there I could invite friends over and one friend said "why is there a chair there, it's in a weird spot off from the patio." I said it's there because neither of those cameras can see that spot and i can sit there without the iwners watching me. I always referred to the owners as "Big Brother" and referred to 1984 for the scene where winston sits next to the screen because big brother can't see him.

      @franktranks9445 3 года назад +8

      @@Gogetta80 A quick evaluation of your answer:
      Banning words is the left. Enough said. Taking down statues is (and this may come as a surprise to you) both. For example, a BLM statue was taken down by right wingers who didn't like it after one day. Erasing history is the right. The left focuses on the history and looks at the bad things people did whom we worship as Gods. They show us that they were all flawed people. That we should look at the accomplishments, not people. The right tries to make people in history (Christopher Columbus, the Founding Fathers) look like Gods without flaws. Although I do think the left should appreciate the accomplishments of these people a bit more. Making a list of people who didn't vote "correctly" is both. There was a lot of anger towards Trump supporters from Biden supporters, as there was a lot from Biden supporters to Trump supporters. They both accused each other of voting for the incorrect candidate, and I'd imagine there was some shifty list making going on for both sides.
      Now let's look at their system of wealth and power distribution. The inner and outer party got it all. The money. The power. Everything. The rest of the world got nothing. This is, by definition, fascism. Some people get it all, the rest get nothing.
      P.S.- Saying "You’re blind if you can’t see that" doesn't validate your argument.

    I am the working class. I generally ignore politics and enjoy my life for what it is. Yet, aware i am unable to shape the future of my society. The established powers are too strong and not worth my efforts to fight against. Thus, I aim to enjoy my "filthy" life as the powerful see me. Quietly rooting for freedom, but not wasting too much energy on the seemingly bleak future that is in store for America.
    I put my faith in God's Kingdom. A Kingdom not run by men. The unmovable creator who has seen thousands of civilizations rise and fall before Him is not moved in the midst of my nation's turmoil.

    With Brexit becoming more and more frightening, and it becoming the self-serving plaything of the politicians, I decided to re-read the novel. I haven't read it since about 1978, but I felt drawn back to it.
    In 1978 (when the year '1984' wasn't too far away, and 'telescreens' hadn't appeared, it was of interest, a bit worrying, but not 'real').
    In 2019, it is VERY real now that telescreens are not only on our desks but also in our pockets. Thoughtcrimes are starting to appear in the UK were the power of the internet is being used against elected politicians to de-select them from office if they don't agree with the paymasters of the rabble. It is VERY worrying and I never thought we would ever get to this point.

It is to gain identity of criminals committing crimes like assault, burglary, shoplifting, terrorism etc offline and people committing crimes such as fraud, theft, making and viewing real life footage showing abuse to animals and minors, cyber terrorist attacks etc online. All this is done for the safety of the public offline and online.

      My recollection is that in the book Julia hates high level party members because she's encountered a few of them. We don't know the details but either she was sexually abused or saw abuse.

    A mostly overlooked part of 1984, is its epilogue...
    It goes all into language, and describes how words will be disappeared, and with that disappearance, the object or thing represented by those words, ultimately goes out of existence. Now and in history... Cancelled, as it were. I find this truly thought provoking, and ultimately a prerequisite, as it appears now, to authoritarianism. ✍️😷
