Eighty years of ‘Animal Farm’: Why we keep reading Orwell.
The British writer was satirising Stalinism in his novel, but the story is a warning against any form of totalitarianism and a defence of independence, intelligence and, above all, humanity.

Wenn ich mir meinen Urlaubseinkauf rückblickend so anschaue, könnte man meinen, dass ich mich bisher mental etwas unterfordert fühle. 🤔

Dans la matrice totalitaire de «1984»
Dans «L’Esprit du #totalitarisme», Jean-Jacques Rosat renouvelle l’interprétation de la dystopie de #GeorgeOrwell en approfondissant le concept de totalitarisme, qui reprend ainsi toute sa pertinence et son actualité.

There won't be much choice, of …
"I have often laughed to think of that recruiting poster and of all the men who must have been lured into the army by just that poster and afterwards despised by their children for not being Conscientious Objectors."
George #Orwell, in his essay "My Country Right or Left" (1940)

“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”
#GeorgeOrwell #1984
Given the blatant re-writing of recent history and boldface lies by #theorangeone ... for example -
-#Jan6 was a love fest (14,000 hours of footage of violence are wrong LOL)
-#Stargate was his idea (Project Stargate began as early as 2022)
-The US Is the only country that offers #BirthRight Citizenship (about 30 other countries do as well) etc. etc.
...It's time to re-read #1984 by #GeorgeOrwell - despite most people focusing on the surveillance aspect of the novel, it's most chilling prospect is the real time re-writing of history as it's happening today.
Or give Adam Curtis "Hypernormalization" doc a view.
