Absolutely. But only the educated or the moneyed interests get it. The multitudes of Winstons convince themselves it’s all fine. “Im white. What’s the problem?”
Instead of the good feeling of family caring for family, Orwell paints the foreboding picture of an all-seeing, all-watching, all-knowing, above question ruler. Although far from being there yet, it certainly feels like the tack Trump & his administration are taking. With fingers in so many pots a POTUS has never dabbled in, the small-fingered vulgarian seems determined to play the arbiter of all things.
The truth is he's just not smart enough to carry it off! He's everything a powerful guardian isn't. "Guess he's not the sharpest lightbulb [sic]." 🔥❌️
Such gaslighting is certainly "going on", and on, and on...enough to be tempted to lose faith in humanity. [sigh] I think more than one thing, many things, are going on. Sadly, I think the 'situation' can be summarized by combining 1984, Animal Farm, Mein Kampf, and the IDU's manifesto [double sigh] (and likely others that don't come to mind at the moment and/or that I have never read).
Another great cartoon today. Looks like a meeting among members of The Borg, or another creepy (Stephen) King-esque horror film.
Yep.

1984 was so prescient - amazing and discouraging.
The darkness is real. Please keep yourself sane and safe Michael.
Love the audience……….
Scary AF.
Rereading Nineteen Eighty-Four is essential these days. Chills you to the bone….
