right. just the other day i got up, ate my rationed bread, lamented the butter shortage, made sure to keep my thoughts private and certainly not post them online, and then ended they day with a nice trip to the town square to watch the execution of eurasian spies.Orwell knew that things could get much, much worse.
He couldn't have imagined how bad it's gotten. What were 'shocking' aspects of his fiction are now mundane aspects of our reality.
the book is a good warning. it is not our current state of affairs.
Dupes like you are why it is worse than he could have imagined.
