1984 was a blueprint for how the elite wanted to make the world. The media has really done quite an amazing job in creating the false dichotomies, without actually having those slogans. The Ministry of Truth is the bs "fact checkers" too. This is truly the model of 4d negative playing out in front of us. How about the commercials you've seen for the mirror you do exercises in front of that talks to you? Is that chilling or what?
The difference between now and the fictional account is critical mass. There's simply way too many people that are not with the program, so the whole thing will end up collapsing. They would have to be too totalitarian to make it work. (Those damn pesky hateful nazi/white supremicists/fascist/xenophobe misogynists)
Trump made them rush the process, and now it must fail.
