I think all the quotes in it are here/now unfortunately to EXTREME DETRIMENT(S), etc.
John Kerry has this down pat...
‘Do you remember,’ he went on, ‘writing in your diary, ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four’?’
‘Yes,’ said Winston.
O’Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended.
‘How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?’
‘Four.’
‘And if the party says that it is not four but five-then how many?’
‘Four.’
The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston’s body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O’Brien watched him; the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever. This time the pain was only slightly eased.
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Four.’
The needle went up to sixty.
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Four! Four! What else can I say? Four!’
The needle must have risen again, but he did not look at it. The heavy, stern face and the four fingers filled his vision. The fingers stood up before his eyes like pillars, enormous, blurry, and seeming to vibrate, but unmistakably four.
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Four! Stop it, stop it! How can you go on? Four! Four!’
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Five! Five! Five!’
‘No, Winston, that is no use. You are lying. You still think there are four. How many fingers, please?’
‘Four! Five! Four! Anything you like. Only stop it, stop the pain!’

Liz Cheney: There was NO VOTER FRAUD. Do YOU agree? Do YOU agree Winston?
In the time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Such is life in the “pandemic:”
“‘We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us. . . . We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him.’”
Wear your mask, get the jab, isolate, stay inside for the greater good, the greater good, the greater good...
“ So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”

Do high schools still teach Orwell?
The only thing missing is the society was not run by trannies and BLM
The democrat party disagrees it’s a requirement.
Wasn't Orwell's "Inner Party" a luxury-loving ruling class?
My daughters’ school does, but it is a private Christian school.
Interesting!
Only relatively speaking.
Ain’t that the truth, unfortunately!
Yep!
Yikes!
Amen!
Good thing you are being sarcastic in your last paragraph. Shockingly and Very unfortunately some people actually think like that.
Yep!
