The UK is getting to be exactly what Orwell said was coming. The people are indoctrinated & the Establishment & media are successful in their conditioning.
Watched the movie again recently. It is jaw-dropping to see the parallels.
Saw it for the first time recently. Disturbing to the core.
The only area he didn’t really foreshadow was the purposeful mixing up of genders. Other than that it hit every element of their agenda & playbook. 
Fact.
Unpersoning is a reality
Happening in South Africa with Afrikaans singer Steve Hofmeyr too.
Corrupt @MultiChoice (who has a monopoly on digital satellite channels due to laundering money to government via Guptas) has banned him.
Take the hyperbole down a notch. The more they go after one side, the more people will leave their platform. FB is not a necessity for existence or information and can easily go the way of Myspace.
True, It's not a necessity. But it, and the other platforms that have banned these individuals, are the major sources of information in the world, today. Do not underestimate their influence.
I don't underestimate their influence, but it can diminish just as the media giants have lost readers and viewers over the years.
And yet you'll hardly hear people espouse an idea that wasn't spoonfed them by their favorite media station. These are powerful companies with enormous social influence. Their effects are already incredible. If you're not scared, you're not paying attention.
This situation exists for all media: radio, TV, film, etc. Regulation tends to consolidate power for these large entities. Until deregulation in the 80s we didn't have more than three major TV stations. The State will only make it worse
Same with Ellsworth Tooey
The power of private ownership.
I’m not saying I agree with it. Just that it happens.
Well said.
1984 scenario would be a walk in the Park compared to what's coming.
1984 should be taught and understood by everybody. Unfortunately those most in need of it won't read it or understand it, thinking/"knowing" their enemies are the bad guys in the book.
