Agree, yet early on with decades of commie infiltration, as outlined in their “manifesto” - so it’s both early on in the book yet also well underway. Television and more recently, the internet being such powerful tools; useful to influence, train and motivate the 2 minutes hate Orwell wrote of (but didn’t envision internet-led 24/7/365 hate of President Bush, apparently).

..."Television and more recently, the internet being such powerful tools; useful to influence, train and motivate the 2 minutes hate Orwell wrote of (but didn’t envision internet-led 24/7/365 hate of President Bush, apparently)."

There have always been weak minded people who will easily come under the influence of any strong authority. The alphabet networks and the internet just reach those people quicker, spread the hate and lies faster, it still takes a weak mind to fall under the spell of those that spew the hate and lies.
