“A message to anyone who feels like ‘Winston’ in Orwell’s 1984”

See my tagline.

Loved the character.
Not so much the actor!

You can find digital copies of Orwell’s works online (epub, pdf, etc.)

For example: https://1lib.us/s/George%20Orwell

You really don’t think a governor is going to change their mind do you??
That is just a fantasy nowadays...

I’m not giving up internet and not moving to Iceland. Any suggestions on how to handle the move from relative freedom to fascism?

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”

Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

I remember when the calendar turned over to 1984 how the liberal media tried their best to connect Big Brother to the Reagan administration.

Democrats have been agents of Satan for a long time now.

That’s the most disturbing song in the entire play.

It’s one of the most powerful, creepiest scenes in movie history. Very well done.

We must hate. Hatred is the basis of communism. Children must be taught to hate their parents if they are not communists.
That is Lenin himself, from an address to his education commissars.

There are of course a lot more quotes than that, in both speech and writing.
