the story is great and all but the real gem is "The Book"/The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, and also the Appendix, about newspeak and the tripartate world. That's the part that actually is happening and is way crazy to think about I think.

It was happening then.

this is partly true. that is what majic really is. grammar = grmmoire, spell as in spelling words = magic spell. gospels = good spells. You can make a man do your bidding from a distance without ever even meeting him thru written words, and nowadays with technology the internet and media. This is also what 1984 was showing, thru it's use of technology. I think it all happened before orwell, and would have happened after even if he never wrote that book, because these tactics were known since plato. That was why he wrote the unwritten doctrine, because the one thing they don't want written down, is the motive behind their actual tactics. The elites spread it thru word of mouth thru father to son and thru secret societies.

Google is our Ministry of Truth.

Read the book about a year ago, in my mind it perfectly describes the cabal's ideal scenario for humanity. It also scared the shit outta me to see how fucking close we already are.

if they are having them read 1984 it'd be good, if you read it and sit back and think "wow big brother is great I love the party" well that'd be on you for being an idiot.

orwell was around writing it in 1948, he knew how WWII went, how russia was, he sat and made predictions of what the future would be like, ohhhh yeah it didn't happen exactly like that by 1984, well in the novel Winston Smith said he thought it was 1984 but wasn't sure because people stopped telling time as the party wanted to own the past.

The descriptive language used in the book is like a hidden gem.

Eh. The thought police aren't rounding doing people up for reeducation, we can still own firearms, we have freedom of speech and religion, we aren't living in a communist Utopia, and most importantly, we can still turn our TV's off. So, quit the fear mongering shitposts, will ya?

If you want a more accurate version of our lives today, I refer you to the movies Idiocracy and The Network.

Try reading the "Protocols of Zion". Coincidence??

1984 isn't magic or anything. It tells a story of what Communism is.

Also, we all should check out You Were Never Really Here (Joaquim Phoenix). It's about child abductions and police/gov cover ups. An insider anon on /pol/ was saying the film is very close to the truth and was shocked that it got green lit.

The torah which contains the account of creation and Gods Law and the plan of salvation through Christ?

Too many people reading that?

Quite the opposite. Hence the problems.

Yes, the hate sessions really seem to happen today.

Ive reae it multiple times. I tell people about it all the time along with catch 22 and lonesome dove there is some real truth in both of thos books as well. 1984 should have been called 2050 in the book thats the date given when newspeak will be completely in use thats when big brother truly wins

Dear Mr. Orwell,

It was very kind of you to tell your publishers to send me a copy of your book. It arrived as I was in the midst of a piece of work that required much reading and consulting of references; and since poor sight makes it necessary for me to ration my reading, I had to wait a long time before being able to embark on Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Agreeing with all that the critics have written of it, I need not tell you, yet once more, how fine and how profoundly important the book is. May I speak instead of the thing with which the book deals — the ultimate revolution? The first hints of a philosophy of the ultimate revolution — the revolution which lies beyond politics and economics, and which aims at total subversion of the individual's psychology and physiology — are to be found in the Marquis de Sade, who regarded himself as the continuator, the consummator, of Robespierre and Babeuf. The philosophy of the ruling minority in Nineteen Eighty-Four is a sadism which has been carried to its logical conclusion by going beyond sex and denying it. Whether in actual fact the policy of the boot-on-the-face can go on indefinitely seems doubtful. My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World. I have had occasion recently to look into the history of animal magnetism and hypnotism, and have been greatly struck by the way in which, for a hundred and fifty years, the world has refused to take serious cognizance of the discoveries of Mesmer, Braid, Esdaile, and the rest.

Partly because of the prevailing materialism and partly because of prevailing respectability, nineteenth-century philosophers and men of science were not willing to investigate the odder facts of psychology for practical men, such as politicians, soldiers and policemen, to apply in the field of government. Thanks to the voluntary ignorance of our fathers, the advent of the ultimate revolution was delayed for five or six generations. Another lucky accident was Freud's inability to hypnotize successfully and his consequent disparagement of hypnotism. This delayed the general application of hypnotism to psychiatry for at least forty years. But now psycho-analysis is being combined with hypnosis; and hypnosis has been made easy and indefinitely extensible through the use of barbiturates, which induce a hypnoid and suggestible state in even the most recalcitrant subjects.

Within the next generation I believe that the world's rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World. The change will be brought about as a result of a felt need for increased efficiency. Meanwhile, of course, there may be a large scale biological and atomic war — in which case we shall have nightmares of other and scarcely imaginable kinds.

Thank you once again for the book.

Yours sincerely,

Aldous Huxley

That schools used to educate students, not indoctrinate them.

Why read it if we are forced to live it every day? I’d rather read something fun.

That I'm old.

Read Brave New World as well. The worst parts of both are happening right now.

Add Brave New World and Animal Farm. Camp of Saints, although I haven't read it. Gulag Archipelago for abuse of judicial system to cleanse virtuous and moral white people.

When you're done read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

It was mandatory reading in my high school

Sure it is, but it's a terrible book, most 'classics' I've read I got very little enjoyment from.

It all started when Barry got elected....

Cartoon version https://www.watchcartoononline.io/playlist-cat/46540/animal-farm

Keep reading. You’ll vomit.

Maybe it's happening now because people read 1984

actually 2019 is happening now but.... yeah anyway.

Lug laugh.

Why would you ever read only 2 chapters of a book?
