>"In George Orwell’s nightmarish totalitarian novel 1984, politicians speak in ‘newspeak’ – and lies are so common that people have to use ‘doublethink’ to understand them. So we can’t think WHY sales of the novel has rocketed as we go into the Trump era – and the President’s advisor Kellyanne Conway began using the phrase ‘alternative facts’."
>"The novel is now the sixth best-selling book on Amazon – as commentators drew attention to the similarities between its chilling future and our terrifying present."

now he's even getting people to pick up books? incredibly. truly the greatest president of our lifetimes.

We live in the Brave New World and they're too busy looking for Big Brother.
Amusing Ourselves to Death
Robert Thomas
"fake news" and "alternative facts" are shit the media started saying before Trump and his team did. Remember pizzagate? They just started saying it to troll the media and deep state.
The deep state/media is literally 1984 in real life

obama is more 1984 than trump.

Kinda like how this anti-American, communist nigger faggot did here:
Trump is going to purge you fucking commies and God willing, Trump will hire me to do so.
Owen Richardson
If I remember correctly, 1984 the government was out of the control of the people, versus with Trump you idiots voted him in willingly.
Eli Morgan
Irony is lost on the mental midgets that make up the left. They were all in favor of Big Government during Obama's reign, yet failed to realize that a Republican President could turn around later and use the system against them that they helped create in the first place.

Hunter Torres
Or maybe how it's this nigger coon bitch and her communit nigger comrade had illegally spied on every single man woman and child in America.
It's some metadoublethink since it's generally liberals who engage in doublethink. Just look at the "Trump Russia Leak". Trump allegedly disclosed to Russia some ISIS plot, and then this was leaked to the media. The media then proceeds to tell the entire world key details about this conversation and even how Israel hacked ISIS to get the intel on the laptop bombs. Liberals then proceeded to attack Trump for "leaking" things to Russia, while completely ignoring the fact that the media through it's disclosure is telling the whole world which includes ISIS.
Other examples include condemning xenophobia and nationalism on one end, and then calling anyone who supports Trump a Russian shill or traitor. Seriously, look at what they write. They will simultaneously condemn Trump for xenophobia, but then blame Russia for every thing even insinuating Trump is somehow a Putin plant.
So it's really comical watching invoke 1984 when talking about Trump.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
They all bought it but no one will actually read it.

Why do Americans suddenly want to know what's happening in the UK? America is Brave New World, UK is 1984.
Jackson Phillips
I think it's more referring to the fake media nowadays rather than Trump. Trump is more like Goldstein, I think.
Noah Thomas
We are already in the beginnings of the 1984 algorithm Orwell talked about. The elite are cynically using intersectional left ideology which has enabled a complete takeover or destruction of the ideological state apparatus to push through globalisation. The overton window has been narrowed to such a point that people are already being fired, imprisoned etc for resistance to the hegemonic left globalist ideology.
We have gotten to a stage where even basic institutions such as family values, national borders ect are under direct threat.
Trump/ alt right reaction and their ability to temporarily get useless executive power to this narrowing overton window is just a flash in the pan - due to the destruction of our other insitutions - academia, media, cirtizenship etc we are set for hegemonic dystopia and the elite will get what they want - a global market with a compliant brainwashed populace without national institutions getting in the way of the movement of labor, taxing etc
By posting the pic and link you imply Trump is the harbinger of 1984 - this just shows how ill educated you are.
Sage your dumb ass and go read some more - start will all of Orwell's works.

This is a very very good example. It is chilling to see how far we have gone.
LARPing aside - we are in very dangerous territory. Those guys will get executive power again very soon that along with all of the other institutions they control - it will be total. The next 30 years will be very depressing - only civil war or succession will save us.

Parker Ramirez
Literally finished 1984 today. I didn't see too many similarities, it more or less shits on communism. Newspeak is just dumbing down the language and doublethink is just the cognitive dissonance that already exists in all people. Also ask Siri or Alexa if they are a telescreen and post results.
Asher Sanchez

This. Lefties don't seem to realize the MSM started the fake news thing with their pizzagate coverage. The fact that dozens of different media outlets all suddenly began using the term "fake news" on the same day tells you everything you need to know.
Adrian Garcia
It'll probably be the first time those liberal cucks have ever attempted to read anything in their life instead of having shit spoon-fed to them by the MSM.
Hopefully they can get past the introduction without being triggered.
Leo Reyes
Yes, Colbert commenting on his audience's reaction to literally one sentence is proof that 1984 is real. Why, he even made people say they love big brother before shooting in the back of the head.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is trying his hardest to found a literal corrupt monarchy.
Conservatism is literally a mental illness.
Ryder Nguyen
Pretty much this. This is Pravda-level of propaganda.
Jack Nelson
Problem is, buddy, that nobody but a retarded leftist would care enough to post anti-Trump shit.
Really, that's the fact.
I don't post in MUH GOMMUNISM threads despite wanting to shoot every commie in the face. So, you mean to tell me it's 100% TOTALLY NOT SHILL STUFF GUISE when faggots keep getting butthurt over Trump?
Sure it is, fella. Keep telling yourself that.

What "system" did "leftists" help create that didn't exist prior that is "being used against them" now by the Republican president, and how so? Why are you posting fake shit? Because you're a Sup Forums shill? Yes that's why.

Having read both books I agree with the dude.. We are heading towards BNWs world, just without the whole birthing through tubes ordeal.
Much easier to control the populace by making them stupid consumers than to make them aware of their servitude and subordination.

Because he's trying to make it. And frankly, this problem is older than him because he's just another turd in the bowl full of shit that is the corporate takeover of not just America, but he world.

Kevin Phillips
>Having read both books I agree with the dude That's because you're a moron. There are aspects of BNW now, but you obviously didn't read that book very well, because it's nothing at all like our society except for 2 points: Marijuana is literally Soma and people are encouraged to consume, which even when the book was written wasn't exactly a groundbreaking concept. 1984 on the other hand has described American government and state-controlled media practices almost shot for shot.
Christopher Young
they just trying to make it seem like its Trump/Republicans fault. We have been living in the Runn up to 1984 since 9/11 2001. They are just merely conditioning their guys to this reality, so when they(Globalist Rep/Dem) regain power after Trump they can hit the accelerator...
Ethan Allen
Read it before you were born, you dumb little goy.
Tyler Nelson
Before actually, but yeah, that was a turning point.
Samuel James
If anything 1984 is about a more powerful and controlling government.
I reread it during the election because the left began talking about government run news sources. This made me think of the 15 minute hate.
People that understand the book knows that Trump is the answer to avoiding the 1984 dystopia. Not the other way around.

"Fake News" "Alternative Facts", attacking journalists, suppressing free speech, attacking protesting (literally a 1st amendment right), selling weapons to SA then claiming to fight "terrorism". Trump is a putting the path to 1984 into hyperdrive.

No.
A government sponsored news source is a way to control what knowledge people consume. It is what the left wants, not the right.
I've read 1984 dozens of times and I understand it better than you ever will.
It is about oppressive government keeping its people dependent. It is a book about what the regressive left is trying to accomplish.

That aside, getting rid of those who oppose you is not necessarily a sign of corruption. Try taking a look at Machiavelli's view on the "prudent ruler". It's just a matter of common sense. Like you would be complaining if Obama had done the same thing, right?
