The freedom of political choice is absolutely illusionary. Your votes don't matter, you ping pong between two parties, two faces of the same coin. And whatever they've bloviated to the masses before is swiftly forgotten and its business as usual as they once more take a "temporary" hold upon the reigns of power. These empty suits within public corridors need not represent you at all, and do exactly as ordered by their true masters, who may as well be occult demons lurking in the shadows. Inflation rises, taxes rise, livelihoods vanish, and yet the proletariat accept it. Thinking surely this time at the ballot box things will change. Scarcely moving a degree beyond that thought. As long as they had alcohol, nonsensical newspapers, entertainment, the football game and pornography. They were easy enough to control. That is the truth of my experience. Now go on. Hate me.

George Orwell's uncanny predictions are now coming true. An amazing writer and so courageous. "But if thought can corrupt language, language can also corrupt thought" - George Orwell. I believe 1984 is our wake-up call and we need to heed it.

Ever thought it wasn't predictions... Ever thought it was the plan... The Jesuits always have a plan... 1984 was the plan... and planned for centuries... Nostradamus prophecies were plans too... in his prophecies he said there would three world wars... so did Albert Pike.... The last war would be the Jesuit Pope.... the first Jesuit pope... Pope Francis.. The current Pope. Why was George Orwell so horrified about the sinking of Titanic... I've always been 50/50 on George Orwell... did he write 1984.. or was he paid to write it... or did he know why the world would go into tyranny... We are going through it now... and all the media, social networks, platform like facebook, youtube all being blocked or removed... was Orwell and Nostradamus doing the same thing... showing the plan... in a way the people can understand the plan.

Orwell foresaw the eventual rise of "doublespeak", a brainwashing technique used to confuse and thus control the public, which we are experiencing more than ever now with words like "woke" being inverted to make something good like awareness, sound bad. This misuse of language and semantics is now being applied in our schools, used to ban history books on subjects the authorities want to eliminate.... like the history of slavery and Jim Crow in America, the Nazi Holocaust, the American government's genicide against Native Americans and racism as a topic in general. Everyone should read 1984 before they succeed in banishing it as too "woke" for our consumption! Orwellian thought police, sent from the totalitarian's "Ministry of Truth" will be banging on our doors and interfering with our internet access in order to suppress knowledge soon enough. We will wake up in an Orwellian police state!

I’m also 60. Read it when I was in college. Along with Animal Farm. I’ve tried but just can’t bare to watch the movie with Richard Burton and John Hurt. It should be mandatory viewing for high school students even though it’s probably one of the scariest horror films that will result in nightmares. If kids can stomach the Freddy Krueger movies they should do just fine having to think about how real 1984 really is.

They have been on the reading list of many schools in fhe uk in the past ; In part because they both describe in clear and compelling narratives the dangers of authoritarian regimes. Perhaps they've fallen out of favour a little as we have put a few years between those two great examples, Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany, but we ignore the warnings at out own risk . The rise of the dictators seems to be upon us . There is something insidious in the current state of affairs, perhaps the threat of scarcity or impending ecocide or is there something in our media social or otherwise that fosters nationalistic and populist sentiments ? Whatever we do well not to ignore Orwell . The real Mr.Blair.

You can add The Gulag Archipelago to that list, and to all of the West. We had to read both of those books by Orwell in public school in NY state, and watched the movies in class. Animal Farm was middle school, say 8th grade and then 1984 was 11th. Each year in HS we read a Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet, MacBeth, Midsummers Night Dream, The Tempest. When NY state theater institute did a production of the Tempest, Schoharie County HS students attended the last performance for class as they had been reading it, and they were gifted the set design (gaudy purple hideous logs and fake trees with strips of some see-through billowing violet cloths strips coming out of them) for their senior prom when their teachers asked for them. Poor kids. We read the War of the Worlds too, and listened to the original radio broadcasting, which might have prepared us if the aliens want to invade. American's are not all stupid, just mostly the coasts and big cities.

She gave us three, Animal farm, 1984 and Brave New World - an excellent primer for our dystopian future.

You could say the same about Brave New World author Aldous Huxley being insightful, but the Huxley family were all eugenists and elitists who wanted the population to be controlled . Similarly Orwell was from the establishment elites (ancestor of the Earl of Westmorland) and seemed to be shoed into establishment jobs and hardly worked really. I'm just giving an alternative opinion , as I believe it's unhealthy for everyone to have the same view. The last few years have shown that no matter how eloquent the speaker and no matter how much they say what we want to hear, ALWAYS ALWAYS be a critical thinker, maybe Orwell would be happy with such a view, maybe not

In my 70s and having lived in 4 countries and travelled extensively having been born into the slums of industrial 1950s Great Britain. I have watched Orwell's predictive novel slowly take shape in the realities of the 20th & early 21st Centuries. His cumulative experiences from birth to becoming a writer illustrate the man's acute understanding of the human animal far beyond that of most. I personally agree that the label of 'genius' as it relates to him, his accomplishments & vision, is therefore apt and deserving.

It was what was happening then, and he wrote about what he witnessed at that time. Just like all writers then, now and in future who turn reality into fictional characters. The movie Escape from New York, was probably a book (Gone with the Wind etc) turned movie when I was a kid, and if u look at NYC, Bronx etc in 60s thru early 90s...mercy. Same with other big cities like Miami in the 80s where I grew up. High crime big time in these cities. And ppl 'fleeing' big time, like I did when I was 19 yr old. Miami however, has come back in an epic way with a positive vibe that's dramatically different than when I was a kid. In other words...we have history, all over the internet for everyone to view and learn as to not repeat.

Everyone talks about Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, but I have to say, the work which spoke to me most was "Why I Write". It's no novel or epic, but just an essay. But still, as a hopeful writer, it made me feel so incredibly seen. It discusses the aspiration for intellectualism while harboring a disdain for intellectuals, a struggle between being proud of your own culture while embracing others, and to acknowledge biases without passing a judgement on said bias.

Orwell reflected on 1930s and 40s Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Soviet Union and imagined a future in which totalitarian regimes would be able to use more sophisticated methods to control and shape the thought processes of their populations. The intended darkness of his work lies in the possibility or inevitability that individual human beings with natural critical faculties will be molded into empty vessels that simply absorb whatever information is poured into them, if that same information with no nuance or different points of view, is poured into them again and again until they become soaked and mentally incapable of absorbing any other kind of information, even if they had access to it. For the small minority that displays any kind of skepticism, sophisticated terror is employed. Not the kind of terror that makes you keep your mouth shut - the kind of terror that rewires your brain into truly believing something that you didn't believe and removing your individuality or autonomy as a human being. And very importantly, for Orwell, all ultimately for no reason or benefit other than the perpetuation of power for it's own sake and for the comfort and benefit of the individuals at the very top who are running the machine.

This is the BEST comment here I think. Orwell could clearly identify totalitarian states and the evil that they did BUT he had no awareness (or vision) of what was needed in a democracy to avoid becoming like that. He seemed utterly unaware of the achievements, in the 1930s, of people like Mickey Savage in NZ or Tommy Douglas in Saskatchewan or FDR in the USA and later John Curtin in Australia. He seems unaware of what was happening in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland in the 1930s as they advanced their democracies with PR voting, multi-member seats, a written constitution, curbs on the power of the rich, support for trade unions etc. He had no practical suggestions for how the UK could advance to become the socialist state he dreamed of. Hence the UK subsequently had Margaret Thatcher winning 3 elections under FPTP voting to crush the UK working class and Norway had Gro Brundtland winning 3 elections under PR voting to give the Norwegian working class a society that Orwell could only dream of.

@vohumanity
@vohumanity Год назад
Chaos (Ancient Greek: χάος, romanized: kháos) is the mythological VOID STATE PRECEDING THE CREATION OF the universe (the cosmos) in Greek CREATION MYTHS. In Christian theology, the same term is used to refer to THE GAP or the abyss created by the separation of heaven and earth. Etymology Greek kháos (χάος) means 'emptiness, vast void, chasm, abyss', related to the verbs kháskō (χάσκω) and khaínō (χαίνω) 'gape, BE WIDE OPEN', from Proto-Indo-European cognate to Old English geanian, 'to gape', whence English yawn. It may also mean space, the expanse of air, the nether abyss or infinite darkness. Pherecydes of Syros (fl. 6th century BC) interprets chaos as WATER, LIKE SOMETHING FORMLESS THAT CAN BE DIFFERENTIATED. * 👆What images come to your mind after reading of all this mess of words? Accented with capital letters words (by me) are clues or KEYs, certainly. It's how I see synchronisms or identical points of true knowl*edge. So, chaos is not the VOID STATE PRECEDING THE CREATION OF “the universe (the cosmos)”, it’s an initial state of the UNIVERSE - before people began to create blocks for the understanding or NATURAL feeling of its initial state: so-called ORDER or any other kind of “orders”, which are blocking ends for that LIVE state of ONENESS. See, the questions of - “from what every*thing takes the beginning” and “by what every*thing will be ended”. This, actually one question, must stay open. ALL*WAYS. Forever, ever, ever and after. It’s a tube, a channel, if to imagine it in 3D vision. When people stop blocking or trying to close “the beginning” and “the end” points of one LIVE tube, then only, they can under*stand, finally, what is it - real chaos, or initial state of the Universe. It’s not “an abyss or infinite darkness”, though it may seem so, but it would be only a vision of “somebody”, not the true vision at all, etc., - just a version, but not uni*versal point of view - it’s not about Now&Here understanding at all. It comes from some points of view, from people, who live in the labyrinth of versions, most likely, and who are choosing the most comfortable (for their way of thinking) dead-end. To under*stand - for me, this word calls an image of standing closer to the core of the Golden Mean. But, is it a center or horiZon still? 💫😂

I discovered George Orwell’s two most powerful novels (Animal Farm, and 1984), in the coffee houses of the early 1960s. I had no confusion regarding the intentions of the writer, and found both books compelling, as well as plausible warnings. I was unaware of the author’s history before today, and wish to thank you, once again, for creating such a thorough and unbiased biography of this very interesting man. You make me want to re-read his works, knowing of the experiences that shaped him as a writer.🖤🇨🇦

If you haven't read 'Road to Wigin Pier', I'd HIGHLY recommend it - for at least the first half, although his criticisms and commentary on socialism in the 1930's UK are also on point. The way people worked and lived in the mines and in those communities were astonishingly bad and worth reading about.

​​@@bluewaters3100In the US, it's the far right who seem to thing Orwell's works are too upsetting for their children in high school to read. It's the far-right who are banning Orwell and Huxley from high school libraries and demanding they be removed from public libraries. When I was in high school in the US (1960-1963), they were required reading, and thankfully enthusiastically discussed in class. I'm grateful I grew up in that era, not in the present one. But I'm concerned about the rampant far-right propaganda being shoved down my great-grandchildren's throats and the limited education they are receiving.

Enjoyed George Orwell ( Eric Arthur Blair) life story tremendously. He did and achieved a lot in his short life. My heart went out to him with all he went through he definitely had something looking after him. He traveled extensively so reminded me of myself with all my travels on 2 different countries. I was drawn to his drive to get things done at all cost. In those days diseases seemed to prevail especially tuberculosis with no medicine to thwart it, it overwhelmed a human being eventually to destroy the spirit like cancer. He was s gifted author. I came across this story about Orwell suddenly on RU-vid & it made a huge impression on me. Thank you for sharing the story with me.

I have reread Animal Farm and 1984 in the past decade, after they were required reading in high school in the 70s. It quite shocked me how many things from 1984 had occurred, not exactly, but pretty spot on. For example, being monitored by the thought police and being traced through our own keystrokes. It is interesting that he chose a life path that exposed him to the authoritarianism of the elites, while also living as one of the common folk.

He moved around a lot during his life and gained a lot of experience in and out of the military. He also had spoken with a lot of people and written a few books whether they were successful or not. Spending time dressed as a poor man in the slums of London was incredible but it taught him a lot about the sorry state of people who could not rise above such poverty. However all of this prepared him for his greatest work, taking his observations about the problems of his day and using it to write a book about the future in 1984 This book is still read and talked about and we see it coming true 40 years later in the 22nd century.
