Orwell's Understanding Of How To Destroy A People (And Create Multitudes Of Consumers!)

in #informationwar6 years ago

Here's a fairly well known Orwell quote. Isn't it funny how the great man thought it necessary to mention this...

What did he see coming? The introduction of weaponized 'diversity' or the labelling of anything that challenges a Europe with no national identity as 'White Supremacism'?

I wonder what he suspected 'Emmanuel Goldstein' had planned for us...

Sort:  

We humans have been around for awhile, and it's no surprise that most of us are easily manipulated by someone or anyone that can clearly see our base nature. But I don't think even Orwell could anticipate the chaos and sheer stupidity that we are experiencing now. Thanks for the thoughtful post, they are getting fewer and further between. Peace and goodwill.

Unfortunately, it happens so often now when history is just being rewrite in the needed way :(
