Title: 1984
Post by: Rush on October 12, 2022, 05:01:16 AM
The movie “1984”, remake in 1985, is now streaming on Amazon Prime.  WOW.  We are much further along than I thought, we are almost all the way there.

*We have the constant stream of propaganda newsfeed.

*We are told the economy is doing great when it’s obviously not.

*We are told the war is temporary when those in power deliberately intend to keep it going forever.

*They deliberately keep the lower classes poor for the purpose of controlling them.

*Surveillance is ubiquitous.

*The destruction of the nuclear family via the elimination of orgasm, sex and coupling.  Coming true as shown in the stats that more and more men do not even masturbate, women are refusing to consider marriage and children and men are doing likewise for fear of divorce and financial ruin.  In the movie they just outright criminalize it.

*The elite get the good food and coffee, and there are rules for thee not for me.

*Language is completely rewritten, words redefined according to party orthodoxy.

*Your home is raided by law enforcement when you go against the Party.

*Instead of the movie’s re-education camp, we just indoctrinate from childhood in public schools.

We see all of the above actually happening in America today.  All that’s missing is the literal being strapped to a table and tortured and I’m not sure that isn’t happening behind closed doors to people like the Jan 6 detainees.

In the movie they call it “Oligarchical Collectivism”.  That’s the word I’ve been looking for!  It’s the combination of the worst of capitalism and the worst of communism.

Unlike the movie we do have a much larger more effective resistance and half a chance of reversing this dystopian slide.  Because we do, they are doubling down on censoring, canceling, and legal persecution (Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Trump, parents at school board meetings, etc.) of all they perceive to be leading this movement.

Oligarchal Collectiveism. Perfect! Thanks Rush. I'll check it out.

I think Orwell coined the term in the book.  The leader of the resistance wrote a book entitled “The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism”.

This is what I meant in the other thread.  We had the technology, while Russia had the political apparatus and the wherewithal.  Now they've merged.

Most (all?) of this we are told is for our own good.  We have traffic cams everywhere.  There is not a square inch of London where you are not on surveillance video.  In Dubai, you can't drive on the freeway or into a parking garage without having your license plate scanned, you know, to catch the bad guys.

If we would just shut up and do what we're told, we'd all be happy in the land of unicorns and rainbows.

Well said sir.
