You never read the novel, I take it?
Or else how do you compare the UK to the Stalinist USSR?
- deltaprotocol 11y agoI'm a citizen of a third world country. My country has 500 years of history, only that. 500 years of genocide, exploitation, abuse, external governments manipulation, American media penetration and influence on public opinion to a point where our population hates its own lifestyle and glorifies some other green grass. So maybe my point of view is biased when I say that, to me, it looks "beyond Orwellian" now that we have all the cameras, all the satelites, all the propaganda, and, most of all, my dearest Internet, the thing I should be proud to deliver to the next generations of human beings, completely dominated by abusive, illegal, unrespectful, inhuman secret agencies that protect only the ones behind the capital in their war of interest. I'm just a human unit, I feel very, very opressed knowing what I know. I do not walk the street in peace. I do not roam freely, even though most people still do. What I understand puts me in a place of distrust. And that, to me, is quite worse than any fiction.
