Good post. "1984" is most often mentioned when talking about privacy, with the reference to the "webcam" installed in everybody's apartment. Personally, what frightened me the most after reading this book was the Newspeak and the Ministry of Truth.
Most likely, there is not even any war going on between Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. This is just mass manipulation to keep people afraid and assembled around their fearless leader :)
- jessaustin 11y agoIt has been a long time since we in USA had a real war. By that, I mean a war the outcome of which actually affected the lives of average USA citizens, rather than the wealth of TPTB. (Of course, dying in war is a giant effect for a soldier and his family, but in recent memory that hasn't been related to whether the war was "won" or "lost".) Instructively, the last real war was also the last war declared by Congress in lawful fashion.
