Forgot to mention Winston's and Julia's secret hideaway room, where they thought they were safe and were able to act like "normal" people. They did not realize this room was a set up until the telescreen behind a quaint painting spoke up just before the thought police burst into the room. Winston and Julia had been recorded the entire time they thought they had privacy. So sad.

This video is 10 years old and was suggested to me today. The odd thing is, I’m currently reading 1984. Big Brother is most certainly watching. Thought police are on the way. Phones are the telescreen.

It's funny that they're actually starting to push the 2 + 2 = 5 thing

There are a lot of people today, who don't know that this was a warning, not a handbook.

The worst is: people are doing it to themselves.

These pictures are far too colorful. When I read the book I imagined cities being a massive swamp of greys blacks and other dark colors.

1984, published 1948, a 36yr difference. 1984 to 2020’: a 36yr difference.

This was supposed to be a warning! Not a Manual!

One of the most Important books on the planet everyone should read it.

It wasn't just a novel.

This video is absolute gold. I love the way Goerge Orwell tries to warn people about totalitarianism. This book is absolutely amazing and make us realize how easy society can change, and how easy they can put pressure on you to make absolutely everything they want you to do. An amazing cautionnary tale, WW2 was probably the worst experience people had to go through with propaganda, brainwashing, etc. and George Orwell materialized it perfectly in hiqs book.

It's honestly terrifying how much of this is actually happening in differnet ways, from targeted ads of things you were searching or even just chatting about, to totalitarian governments leading their countries completely free to do whatever they like. A novel truly ahead of it's time

I just have read this book and it is really a masterpiece. All human beings should read it and think about it. A must have for everybody! Greetings from europe! 💖💖💖💖💖💥 It is modern and in ourdays so important to watch and keep your eyes open!

No matter what ever happens again, these last two years opened my eyes to how flawed a species we are, there are many great humans but sadly we are so flawed we are destined for doom

[@libertiesbreathe5014]

When you're a kid stuff like monsters ghosts and bugs would scare you. When you're an Adult. The evil inside peoples hearts. The concept of a dystopian world such as this. Essentially not being a human being anymore. That is more ftightening than any monster ghost or creepy crawly any day

[@thetake-geopolitics4961]

"The good message is that the government has to try really hard to truly get into Winston's head" wow, such an encouraging message. This book is so fucking scary because it's so true
