1984 - Novilingua [Newspeak]

Just noticed how Winston seemed more casual and detailed in telling of his situation of his last razor blade to Syme compared to Parsons.

Parson's fatass rationing all the food!

George Orwell was a socialist

I have been using the same blade for months...

This is literally western civilization in modern times. No one can speak their minds or name the problem 😅

Documentary about russia today ???

Watching this after listening to the audible. Would definitely recommend

Sunak's Britain

People in north korea would envy these people.

Spontaneous demonstrations have erupted all over the nation to thank the Tory Party for the 40 new hospitals to be built.

I wouldn't survive in the world of 1984. I spend too much time in my head

the thing about syme is that he agrees with the party but he knows too much which in the case of 1984 literally means that he is too intelligent and "speaks too plainly" it sort of reminds me of a scene in cloud atlas where someone is going on about how "the weak are meat and the strong do eat" and some supporter of like slavery and colonialism is offended by this he doesnt actually disagree with it in a sense but he has lied to himself to make himself think that what he is doing is right and Christian even and so he dislikes hearing the reality behind something like slavery expressed so plainly and made to sound so obviously evil

V for vendetta was better movie. 1984 is a better book

The wild part of 1984 is that many people think it's about fascist-like states. It's not - it's about communist-like states. People forget that it was radical leftist brought socialism and communism that did exactly these things. It's active today with cancel culture, gender-free speak, and rabid oppression of anyone that thinks differently. It's is a hallmark of the socialist countries in the 1900's (North Korea, China, Russia, etc) and today. It can happen just as quickly under the left as the right.

I never thought i would see Mr. Galloway in 1984

Ja pierdole. Ta książka to takie mistrzostwo. Film nigdy tego nie odda, ale fajnie czasem powrócić do tego klimatu.

Looks like the mess hall was filmed in a car park or something.

Syme is such a gluttonous bootlick

tfw no plusgood wife to do duty to the party with

I hate to say this. There are way too many useful idiots in the United States and Canada that it appears we're on a head on collision with 1984.

Whatever they're eating, it can't possibly be good, let alone nourishing. As for Parsons' remark about the meat. If it looks and tastes like meat, then I'm pretty sure it's meat.

Wow this is literally what Obama tried to do until Leader Trump bravely arm-wrestled him into submission and quadrupled our fruc rations.

I read that book in 1984 when I was 13 years old. Devastating experience. I was expecting something like Captain Future or Buck Rogers but no, there was Winston Smith. Filled with curiosity I read the whole book in a mere week. Amazed by that dystopian version of the same year I was living at. This movie was a very good adaptation. Too bad they discarded the wonderful Eurythmics' soundtrack. Skinny Puppy sampled this list progress reading on one of their early tracks (it can be found on Back & Forth Vol. 3 - 4).

Something that gets me about the annoucer on the video-screens and dictatorships IRL such as North Korea is the metric of productivity. 5.1 million tractors I think is stated here. So what? Were there 4.9 million last year and 4.7 the year before? What are we doing with all these supposed tractors?! I know they probably don't exist and if they did it's all planned waste of productivity but still it's ridiculous what propagandists try to force feed people.
And sad what some people accept.

"No meat in this" huh

Orwell predicted zoom calls.

I see that face of a stare and I see some dipshit like Biden, Barry, or Hildebeast. Selling us away for their benefit and the only option is make us slaves. 🤣 But Trump is LITERALLY Hitler.

fan va ångest å bo me dem

Gregor Fisher trying desperately to suppress his real accent.

What is discouraging is that they still eat. When a person can no longer eat, then it will get real...

Chciałbym być jak ten Pan tylko też mieć zapewnione luksusowe dobra

How could anyone want this miserable future?

The subtitles just don't work for Newspeak. Double Plus Good doesn't easily translate. I suppose that's sort of the point tho

Who knew that this would be our future, but with a rainbow flag instead of big brother. Good+ film.

half a Hershey Bar? YESSSSSSS!!!!! ALL HAIL BIG BROTHER!

at least their version isnt gay, we'll get to this level eventually, but it will somehow be WORSE in reality. An effeminate, gynocratic dystopia.

Lord have mercy on us

Note how the one thing there is no “shortage” of is alcohol.

Look how happy they are for 25 grams of chocolate!

A vegan paradise of continued language destruction and confusion. Fiction is fun.

Me, living under capitalism:
Wait, these people have free housing, free food, free boose, free fitness classes...
And this is a dystopian future!?

Such an amazing adaptation. There's so much allusion to fascism even just in this scene.

This is what it feels like when I can’t play Fortnite

This movie is pretty fun, but it becomes laughable when you think about how the CIA published the book for years and how many Americans truly believe this is the aspiration of socialism lol

Wild how many didn’t read the book but write paragraphs about today, in which doing so the literal antithesis of the world they’re in

Perhaps the processed meat they're eating is derived from executed prisoners and dissidents.

They predicted peloton

"It's a beautiful thing the destruction of words" Oh yeah this hits home hard.. fk the commies.

Double plus good. 🍫
