I dunno, Frankie Goes to Hollywood being number 1 again would be alright.

Literally 1984(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

Now, this is not “literal”. 😂

A mix of both the 1956 and 1984 adaptation.

@@molanohouse In my opinion the 1956 one is arguably a better adaptation.

Nah, I didn't hear "I'm sorry if you felt wronged", that's always there in insincere non-apologies.

IMO looks similiar to modern China, which sometimes broadcasting "apology" of the citizen who cought up do anything against the CCP.

The plot....

@@Salty_Ratri The plot is written by the videos on the channel😉

I like the theory but their is no evidence for it, also why would Oceania use dollars if it was just Britain and why would it britain be called airstrip 1 if it was all of Oceania

Same. The British Isles are the DPRK but on steroids.

I also assumed that, but if you analyze a little, possibly the revolution was carried out while they were still an empire and since it was a popular movement that was also highly elected by elections (if I remember correctly) and once they won, the only thing left to do was to replace the "Order" in the Colonies. I do believe that each State of "1984" is as powerful as described.

I love all the theories people come up with in 1984. A lot of them are pretty spooky too.

My headcanon is that Oceania is the only totalitarian hellscape and that Eastasia and Eurasia are just the IRL People's Republic of China and Soviet Union but just bigger and they're looking on at Oceania like "What the fuck?"

he's always watching

I hear Winston loves Big Brother! Such a wonderful, happy ending. ❤

The benevolent judgment of Big Brother, comrade.

Double plus good

That'd be cool, though we don't really have enough information to make anything distinctive.

@@Syllogyzym I found a forum thread years ago where people were trying to flesh them out. Eurasia was basically just the Soviet Union on steroids and Eastasia was Mao's China with shades of the WW2 Japanese Empire thrown in. Their flag was red with Chinese characters for "Death Worship"

I've joked that Eurasia should have their own invented language, but it's Russian bits of Nasdat from Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange" "Horroshow morning, droog"

It'd be cool to figure out what Death Worship is exactly

I think the point was suposed to be they changed, lowered, the rations and didn’t want people to know

It is also a bad interpretation of 1984, ie. the person thinks it’s about just random generic “facts” not history

@mareksicinski3726 I disagree. Yes, the party was fundamentally geared towards altering recorded history to better buttress it's image as an eternal monolith, but this extended to the minutae of quotas and resource allocations. If the milk rations were 450mg, then they had *always* been 450mg, and the party never made mistakes. If the ration ever HAD been 500mg, or even a figure different, then it could only be the work of internal sabotage by rebellious entities. Hence the "confession", probably something tacked on to this man's list so they could explain it away as such.

@@mareksicinski3726 There's at least one reference in the book to how the chocolate ration was lowered, but everybody has to pretend it's either stayed the same or increased

It is easy to say Oceania is a collapsing system, but I think the cautionary tale that Orwell is trying to portray is contrary - this psychotic dictatorship is far from being able to collapse. This can be seen from how easily the so called resistance was crushed by the Ministry of Love in the end, even Goldstein, the alleged enemy and leader of the resistance, may very well be manufactured by Oceania themselves.

@@Epentibi I think it's very clear that the resistance is a creation of Oceania or at least the name Goldstein (the Goldstein is very much Trotsky stand in), and I don't think Orweil is attempting to create a totalitarian regime in decline just happenstance. Though it is roughly a "alternate history" and fiction at its core a book of political caution not well thought out universe I just believe that a regime using hard totalitarianism in the way Orwell has described in the book is a self-defeating system. The boot cannot stomp forever because it needs food, water and humans to wear it and no amount of propaganda and terror can break the hard limits of reality which is the true enemy of Oceania. No amount of propaganda slogans, secret policeman and mind control can make food appear on plates, boots for feet and razor blades to shave with, these are what give the state's power not guns and policemen. It is its ability to live up to its promises. If anything the propaganda and social control makes the failings of the state more apparent, Winston begins to doubt because he sees the differences between the imaginary world created by propaganda and real world around him, if he is noticing others are as well. The attempt to implement newspeak is the last desperate attempt in my opinion to hold off total collapse but I will admit I don't believe that is what Orwell attended with it. But it is so insane that I believe it will be the final weight to lead to the collapse of the whole system. It's the creation of a desperate and out of touch leadership who needs a "wonder weapon" to win the war. Sorry for the long rant, it's something that thought about for a long time. It's just my own head Canon/theory

Mentioning Newspeak and and you saying that it wasn't the ideal dystopia, you're probably right! a detail someone pointed in a different 1984 related video, a comment said that in the end of the book that point's out some gaps about Newspeak it says that it *was* the language of Oceania,not is,WAS,and that's the only optimism in the entire book that mentions a possible end to this global totalitarian regime, bone chilling

yes, I think if you are looking for a "Perfect" totalitarian society, Brave New World is where you should look. Stable, rich, and not screaming in your face "evil"

​@@gigachadgaming1551 agreed. The unfortunate thing about 1984 is that it's an extreme version of what a totalitarian system looks like. In real life it's much more subtle, and people miss the signs, expecting it to be the monstrosity Orwell describes

I got an ad for one earlier. It was a streaming show

That's now under Brexit.

​@@Epentibi One State comes from the book WE. You should read it, it's a romance story.

Oh yeah please It's one of my favourite books Even though the author wrote it as a warning, I see the genius within... GASTEV WAS A GENIUS! If you're looking to learn more, simply read Gastev's poem 'We grow of iron' and you will get the idea

Brace yourself. It's gonna get even worse.

This looks more like 1950s than actually the year 1984, maybe newspeak wasnt as developed back then

In the book, Newspeak doesn't seem (yet) to be the vernacular of anyone in Oceania.

"Orwell feared what we hate would destroy us, Huxley feared what we love would destroy us". Or as the Dilbert guy (yeah, I know) put it: "The holodeck will be the last invention"

George Orwell based Oceania on stalinist Russia, not fascism

Well, you could argue that over time the language subtly evolved so that Big Brother became less of an actual individual and more of an institution. How could the citizens of 2024 believe the same unaging guy they see on their telescreens every day is the same man they saw back in 1984? That question might plant a seed. They might begin to doubt the state--then the whole house of cards would crash! It would make sense to rotate Big Brother from time to time to maintain the charade and reassure everyone that Big Brother will always be there to protect them--as their figurehead and as their institution. There will always be a Big Brother to watch them until the end of time. The Big Brother is always watching. So, in the book, Big Brother is actually Big Brother the First, the only one anyone has known. When he eventually dies (or is replaced or reinvented) his successor becomes The Big Brother (Big Brother II, Big Brother III, etc.) There might even be a Big Sister in 2084! Big Brother is dead. Long live Big Brother!
