The idea that Orwell presents us in 1984 is that people subtle enough and brutal enough can take the undirected dissatisfaction and anger of a society and point it at whatever they will, using us to damn ourselves.

Back when I read the book I didn't know Orwell was defending anarchism (the real one, a.k.a. libertarian socialism). Too bad I didn't know what anarchism really is until pretty recently. I was taught something that was technically true but was devoid of meaning.

Thank you for focusing on the *really* scary stuff in 1984--the mental gymnastics we can inflict on one another (and on ourselves). The surveillance tech is of course very frightening but nothing is scarier than what happens in the very last line of 1984. Being mindful--even just putting yourself in check for a moment--was a great note to end the vid on. Critical thinking is something that *many* people simply do not experience. So take a breath! Be mindful! Be empathetic!

As someone raised on (and having fled from) a Communist Totalitarian Dictatorship, reading Orwell's books (which, btw, were banned on my country) always felt terrifyingly close to home; how I could draw parallels between things I knew, experienced myself, and even participated on, and how a lot of events in real life took place just as he said they would take. A lot of what Orwell pictured happens for real (although on a much more low-key level) back there....

that is true. however, we live in a world where we have the right to not take anything at face value, you can laugh at a comedian talking about politics, but you don't need to believe in everything he says. and that is the important distinction here, the line is only crossed when a power starts to decide for you what is true and what is not. 1984 only takes that to the extreme, where the government not only controls what is the truth, but also controls how you should feel. and if you don't believe or you don't feel what you are supposed to, then you are a enemy of the state and the people.

The crux of 1984 I think is social pressure. To be the only one not frothing with anger at the things you're told to be angry about is to be an outcast, in a society where outcasts are ripped to pieces. You say things you don't believe, do things you don't want to do, just to assure everyone else that you're the same as them and to avoid unnecessary trouble. It's when we turn on each other and stop allowing for the reasonable understanding of other thoughts and opinions that we truly fall down the rabbit hole. Thankfully, nothing like that is happening today. We totally understand and respect viewpoints different from our own, and never go along with a group just to avoid being targets of that group. Right? ...Right?

@@will1603 No I haven't discounted anyone as an enemy. I'm saying that the left (to a greater degree in frequency and intensity than the right), is trying to work people up. Outrage culture, and cancel culture, for example, has been denounced by a fair majority of the right, while a significant majority of the left embrace these things as necessary. There obviously are exceptions, but generally speaking this is true. Social Justice, by definition, vilifies individuals who do not adhere to social norms and ideas. That is what 1984 is all about. Vilifying people, not for breaking actual laws, but for committing "wrongthink".

The scary thing is how much of 1984 has actually come about in the real world very easily. All you really need is a society where critically thinking is not systematically taught, and demagoguery becomes the easiest (and eventually the go-to) way to convince people of anything. And once that happens, tyranny will inevitably follow.

The US political system should work on compromise and cooperation for the benefit of the common citizen; not be used to serve the agendas of whichever extremist group is currently in control.
