You don't see the parallels between a Minister of Truth dictating what is true versus the plot line of 1984?
- emn13 7y agoYeah, parallels sort of like a triangle is made of parallel lines. Only if you stretch the analogy beyond all meaning. I mean seriously, at that point any teacher correcting their student is 1984 for pointing out any mistakes. Sure - this might be a step in that direction. But so far? Seriously, give me a break. When there's no recourse, corrections are secret rather than transparent, there's no public audit - then come back and complain. Not that the law sounds brilliant or anything, but equating everything to 1984 simply devalues that comparison to the point of meaninglessness.
