    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

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.

      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.

    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.

    • @MickeyMousePark
      @MickeyMousePark 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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..

    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.

    In my youth ('70's and '80's), one of my school reading assignments was "1984". To me it was just another book I didn't care about that I'd have to write a report about. If I remember correctly, I just skimmed over little spots of what I felt was a boring book, and never even read the last 15 pages.
    I am now 60. I look back and truly regret not reading it, processing it mentally, and taking it to heart back then. I look at the world we have today, and I'm SO sorry and regretful I so casually dismissed it back then. Outside my window IS "1984". Orwell was right; he just had the date wrong. I was so regretful, I made it a point to get a copy all these decades later. I want to have it, to read the living example of what this world has actually become. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

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.

      Censoring information (deeming anything they say as false, misinformation, or calling things conspiracies or labeling people as extremeists, or generalizing a group and demonizing them, etc. Whatever discredits them)
      Protecting the "truth" means totalitarianism. As leftist ideologies CANNOT exist without censorship and moderation. Narratives, in other words. In order to protect their narrative, they censor, ban, dehumanize, lynch, or try desperately to impeach those that stand against them. They control erry major institution, main stream medias, social medias, etc. We all know the mainstream narrative in America, for example. Orange man bad, right wing is evil, patriotism is bad and hard work should be ridiculed, and other lies/slander.
      When in fact, leftist ideologies/narratives cannot exist without the 2 basic principles: Censorship and Accord. It's the 3rd state of the fascist philosophy: Nothing Against The State. The forcible suppression of opposition. "Either you think this way (Accord), or else.. (Censorship)" You've all seen this trait errywhere. It's an echo chamber, you can only say certain things, or get banned/suspended/canceled. It requires a collective mindset. Without totalitarianistic rule, one example of free speech is enough to tear down any leftist ideology. Leftism appeals to the worst of man, and to idiots. It's PURELY propaganda and only benefits the ruler, often known as a Dictator
      Orwell wrote the book 1984 criticizing Stalin, Leftism in general. To understand what the book is about and leftist ideology, all you need to learn are the hidden/censored definitions of a few words and some basic history. I haven't even read the book (Only a summary) and I alrdy know errything that happens and how it came to be that way. When I learned of the book and listened to the summary, the first thing I thought of was the *Beast System.* And nothing has made more sense than that moment. And ever since, I've only been watching my country, the last safe haven, fall into the hands of these people. I know how they did it, and I know exactly what comes next. Leftism is executed one way, and has only ONE end game. 1984. Or how I come to know it by now, Agenda 2030
      I can 101% guarentee you, if people knew the true definition of just the word FASCISM, the 3 states of the fascist philosophy and it's origins, there wouldn't be a leftist in existence. I can also 101% guarentee you that there is no a leftist out there that understands basic economics and history and remains a leftist. If there are, they're probably rich/powerful or a politician.

    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. And believing something just because someone with more money or a higher position says so, is insanity.

      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.

The central idea of liberalism is flawed: that all men are essentially reasonable people who just want to live in peace, and are capable of both deciding their futures and voting for the interests of all, with the only real factor being education which causes ignorance which leads to wars. It also assumes that special interest groups won't just co opt the engine of the state by focusing power and buying propaganda outlets to manipulate politics.

    I see a lot of comments saying something along the line of, "unfortunately, most people don't care", "don't know", etc. But we have to remember that there are a hundred thousand or more people watching these videos. A lot of the people here are the type of people we all wish existed - those that are concerned and hope to bring themselves to a more individualized and productive position / mode of being in the world. I can't say I don't feel pessimistic about it, but I try to remind myself of that fact.
    Edit:
    @Sleeper : "Hundreds of thousands, even a millions or two, are a raindrop in the lake compared to billions"
    Me: "Agreed, and I didn't intend to convey that I think we're fine because of the numbers of people taking these ideas to heart. I pointed it out because the exact fact that you replied with brings a more and more powerful feeling of futility the less people we think do care. The feeling of futility can stop us in our tracks before we give ourselves a chance"

    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.

      It isn’t becoming a reality.
      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.

      Truth is always subjective. Just because it "sounds good" doesn't mean it's correct or "truth"
      Most people don't have their own "original ideas" anymore. Everything is borrowed off some systematic belief system. And when this happens; "logic" in itself goes right out the window.
      Humans are too immature to have access to a piece of technology like the internet. We may be smart; but mature and logical we are not. Being smart and being logical/mature are in two different playing fields.

      World wide dictatorship and wherever there is a vicious lie there is the devil and his minions. St. Michael the archangel defend us in this battle, be our safeguard and protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray. Thou prince of the heavenly host by the power of Christ cast into hell satan and his evil spirits and allies.
