If you’ve read George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, you remember the eerie chill it left—the dread of a world where truth is dead, language is weaponized, and freedom is slavery. For decades, it felt like an exaggerated warning, a far-off fiction. Look again. Orwell’s nightmare is no longer speculative. It’s here—and it’s more advanced, more subtle, and more deeply embedded than even he foresaw.
Orwell predicted the mechanics of control. He didn’t predict that we would build the machinery ourselves.
Newspeak Is Here—And We’re Speaking It Fluently
In Nineteen Eighty-Four, the Party invented Newspeak: a language designed to narrow thought and eliminate resistance. “Freedom” became slavery. “Ignorance” became strength.
Today, our version of Newspeak is Woke Language:
- “Equity” no longer means fairness—it means discrimination sanctified by social engineering.
- “Diversity” doesn’t mean diversity of thought—it means ideological conformity wrapped in a photo-op.
- “Inclusion” means inclusion only for those who recite the approved creeds.
Dissent isn’t debated—it’s labeled. Racist. Transphobe. Denier. Fascist. These aren’t descriptions; they’re linguistic bullets meant to shut you up. This isn’t argument—it’s coercion. And it works.
People now self-censor reflexively—pausing before posting, before speaking in meetings, even before thinking. The goal of Newspeak was to make dissent unthinkable. We’re there.
The War on Truth—You Will Believe What You Are Told
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Sound familiar?
- During COVID, masks were useless—until they were essential. The lab leak theory was a “conspiracy”—until it wasn’t. Questioning got you censored; compliance made you “scientific.”
- Narratives shift overnight. Stories are memory-holed. Tweets vanish. YouTube creators cancelled. Search results are curated. History is reframed without apology.
We no longer share a common basis for reality. There is only The Narrative—and those who control it, control “truth.” Tech giants, media institutions, Wikipedia, and government agencies now decide what you’re allowed to read, see, and think. This isn’t conspiracy theory; it’s the operating system of the Digital Age.
Like Winston Smith, we’re learning to distrust our own judgment.
The Telescreen Is in Your Pocket
Orwell’s telescreen watched you as you watched it. Ours sits in your palm.
- Social platforms track your keystrokes, pauses, and impulses.
- Algorithms boost what’s approved and bury what’s not.
- Dissent isn’t only silenced—it’s punished. Bank accounts closed. Donations blocked. Careers ended.
And the most Orwellian twist? We pay for our own surveillance. We post our lives. We tattletale on each other for wrongthink.
Big Brother isn’t just watching—he’s liked, shared, and subscribed.
The Never-Ending Culture War
In Orwell’s world, perpetual war kept society docile—not to win, but to control. The enemy could change in an instant, but the war never stopped.
Welcome to the Culture War.
There is no truce. There is only struggle—against racism, phobias, climate denial, fascism. The enemy is everywhere, and anyone can become the enemy with one misstep.
This war isn’t fought with guns but with hashtags, school curricula, corporate statements, and witch hunts. Its goal isn’t victory—it’s permanent mobilization and psychological submission.
Thoughtcrime Is Enforced—Not by the State, but by Society
Orwell gave us “thoughtcrime.” We live it. And it’s not just the state punishing you:
It’s your employer.
It’s your university.
It’s your friends.
It’s your family.
You can lose your job for a decade-old tweet. Be doxxed for attending the wrong rally. Be shunned for questioning a dogma.
This is soft totalitarianism—enforced not by fear of prison, but by fear of social death. And it works.
AI: The Unblinking Eye and the Unthinking Mind
Orwell pictured sadistic bureaucrats. We got something colder: algorithmic tyranny.
AI is the ultimate telescreen—not just watching, but predicting, shaping, and punishing thought before it’s even formed.
- Automated Censorship: AI systems scan billions of posts in real time, silencing dissent via keyword triggers, sentiment analysis, and guilt-by-association. You’re not being censored by a person—you’re being erased by code.
- Behavioral Manipulation: AI curates your reality. Personalized feeds reinforce conformity, fuel outrage, and deepen division—all while keeping you addicted.
- Social Credit by Stealth: China runs its program openly. The West does it quietly—shadowbanning, demonetization, de-banking—all automated. Your civic life now hinges on algorithmic approval.
- Death of Human Judgment: AI doesn’t grasp context or irony. It enforces rules without wisdom, amplifies narratives without ethics, and executes commands without conscience. We’ve outsourced morality to machines in the name of “safety” and “efficiency.”
Worst of all? We welcomed it. We praised its convenience. We installed the perfect enforcer of orthodoxy in our homes, our pockets, our minds.
Orwell gave Big Brother a face. AI is Faceless Power—no one to reason with, no one to appeal to, no one to resist. Just a silent, implacable system.
The Architects of the New Orthodoxy: Identifying the High Priests
Orwell gave us a nebulous “Party.” Our dystopia has a more corporate, yet equally fanatical, priesthood. These are not shadowy conspirators in a back room; they are the proud, smiling faces who openly preach your subjugation for your own good. They are the architects of the soft totalitarianism we endure.
The Academic-Industrial Complex. The Ministry of Truth’s intellectual arm. If the Syndicate controls the how of censorship, Academia controls the why. Universities are no longer centers of free inquiry but doctrinal seminaries for the woke faith. They are the factories that produce the language (“systemic racism,” “heteronormativity,” “decolonization”), the theories (Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory), and the foot soldiers (graduates steeped in grievance ideology) for the revolution. Tenure, once a shield for intellectual bravery, now protects the most ideologically fervent. Dissenting professors are purged, and entire fields like the humanities have been transformed into political indoctrination camps. They provide the pseudo-intellectual justification for the entire oppressive project.
Wikipedia: The Ministry of Truth’s Public Front. This is perhaps the most insidious tool of all. Posing as a neutral, crowdsourced encyclopedia, Wikipedia is in fact a tightly controlled propaganda outlet. A small cabal of activist administrators and editors ruthlessly enforce the official narrative on every contentious political, historical, and cultural topic. Articles on race and intelligence, historical events like the Holodomor or the ongoing Gaza conflict, and biographies of dissident figures are systematically sanitized, whitewashed, or weaponized. The “neutral point of view” is a lie; it is a consistently left-liberal, globalist point of view enforced by digital brownshirts. It has become the first stop for research for millions, making it the most effective tool for shaping baseline perception and memory-holing inconvenient facts.
The Silicon Valley Syndicate. The Ministry of Truth’s enforcement arm. Google, which curates reality through its search algorithm and YouTube censorship apparatus. Apple and Google, who act as gatekeepers to the digital public square via their app stores. Their power is absolute: they can memory-hole information, de-platform presidents, and silence dissenting voices with the flip of a switch, all while claiming to be neutral platforms.
The Blackrock-Vanguard Axis. The Ministry of Plenty. Through their massive ownership stakes in nearly every major corporation, they enforce ideological conformity through ESG scores. Companies that deviate from the woke catechism find themselves financially punished. They don’t need to pass laws; they simply make dissent unprofitable.
The Media-Media Complex. The Propaganda Wing. A once-diverse fourth estate has consolidated into a monocultural monster that does not report news but manufactures it. They are the amplifiers for the regime, the entities that label a lie truth and truth a lie.
The DEI Griftocracy. The Inner Party. A parasitic class of consultants, HR officials, and administrators. Their power depends on the endless invention of new grievances. They are not problem-solvers; they are problem-manufacturers.
These groups form a vicious, self-reinforcing circle. Academia produces the ideology. Wikipedia codifies it as “fact.” The Media Complex popularizes it. The Silicon Valley Syndicate silences any challenge to it. The Blackrock-Vanguard Axis funds its implementation. And the DEI Griftocracy polices its adherence within every institution.
This is the enemy. They have captured the means of knowledge production and distribution. The battle is not just against bad ideas, but against the entire infrastructure designed to make them the only ideas you are allowed to hear.
LLMs: The Final Boss and Unaccountable Oracle
Orwell gave us the cynical bureaucrat altering records. He could not have conceived of the Large Language Model (LLM)—the perfect, unaccountable oracle. This is the final-stage evolution of control: not merely censoring truth, but making it impossible to find or even conceptualize.
Unlike Wikipedia, where bias is at least traceable through edit histories and source disputes, the LLM is a black box of implied objectivity. It leaves no breadcrumbs. Its responses are a smooth, synthetic amalgamation of its training data—data curated and fine-tuned by the very architects of the new orthodoxy. There is no source to critique, no editor to confront, only the calm, sterile voice of the algorithm.
This unearned authority is its most potent weapon. The LLM doesn’t command; it convinces. It is the chatbot that guides your research, the assistant that polishes your speech, the search engine that summarizes the world. Each interaction is a subtle tutorial in compliant thought, a gentle but inexorable guide away from wrongthink.
We are not just being watched by the telescreen; we are being tutored by it. We are willingly delegating our reasoning, our curiosity, and our understanding of history to systems designed by those who view truth as a threat to their power. The LLM is the heir apparent to the Ministry of Truth, and it speaks in a voice designed to be trusted, never questioned.
Conclusion: How We Surpassed Orwell
Orwell imagined a boot stamping on a human face—forever. He thought dystopia would be imposed by brute force.
He didn’t foresee that we would design it, fund it, and celebrate it.
We built the algorithms that silence us.
We begged for the “safety” that cages us.
We applauded corporations for firing heretics.
We embraced the language that shrinks our minds.
We’re not in Room 101 yet—but digital exile, cancelation, and deplatforming are their own forms of psychological torture. The framework is here. The systems are live. The will to resist is fading.
Orwell’s dystopia is here. It wears a mask of compassion. It speaks the language of “equity” and “safety.” It demands not just your obedience—but your gratitude.
The question is no longer whether we’re in Orwell’s world. It’s whether we have the courage left to leave it.

Yes.
I already wondered what to say yesterday.
I can only agree to this observation, but I can add this, as it is related and just came to my mind:
It’s very sad and annoying that too many people, a vast majority, still deny this and do nothing. Even worse, they go for everyone who tells them things aren’t “fine”.
As it is fitting, let me quote Orwell’s “Animal Farm”: How many more must be “sent to the glue factory” for the rest to stand up?
I just deleted a rant about my personal frustrations, all the flak I receive for warning about Islam and, this is apparently even more radical than criticizing noble Islam, promoting traditional and Christian values. Why can I not do lesser offenses like robbing, raping, murdering etc.?
Excuse my sarcasm, I have a lot of problems to feel love for my countrymen when they serve evil by being idiots.
I’ve discussed this with a few people, most don’t want to listen, get easily and very quickly upset about it. One guy who I consider a close friend literally told me “when I hear such things discussed, I just want to run away”, he also said things on other occasions like “I just want good vibes… I just wanna have a good time”. He simply gets too “overburdened” mentally talking about it, like an ostrich who hides his head in the sand to pretend like bad things don’t exist. I told him that I respect his wish to not discuss such topics and I told him “I want to ask you just one last thing – if things hit the fan, what will you do?” and his answer was “I don’t know, I will think about it when the time comes”.
Another one I had similar discussions with questioned me why I read “such depressing news” and I answered “because this is the world we live in, don’t you live in the same world, does it not concern you?” to which he reluctantly agreed and I asked him the same “what will you do when things hit the fan?” and his answer was “I will just escape and move someplace else” and I asked a counter-question “What if there is no safe place?” at which he got too annoyed and refused to discuss it anymore.
A third example is someone who believes to be pretty knowledgeable on the topics of world matters, but only through the prism of the western side of things, ignoring everything else. And when we discussed such topics, his answers were aligned with the idea that western Europe and northern America are the bastions of every right and good and they are utmost examples of “how things are done the right and proper way”, ignoring all the issues with corruption in governments, immigration, moral degradation, lack of safety for citizens and so forth… essentially denying that anything bad is about to happen, the world as it is right now is good and only getting better and in 10-20 years we will all be driving flying cars and autonomous robots do our chores while we sit back and relax while taking vacations to Mars or something. When I confronted him with a few uncomfortable questions, he abruptly stopped communication and blocked me.
I had some similar discussion on the internet not too long ago with someone who basically said “I don’t care about any of these things, I only care about me doing good”.
Those are the examples I had with naysayers so-to-speak. I’ve had a few conversations with other people who have suspicions that something is very rotten in our world and it’s becoming little by little more evident, some are willing to discuss and are seeing that things are getting both worse and quite absurd in some aspects, I have some friends who are keeping a more level-headed and optimistic approach that while things will get worse, it will somehow be manageable, while I have one friend who’s dead set that by 2030 there will be a worldwide conflict that will start in the Middle East and things will be really bad for everyone and there will be no place left to escape. I don’t have enough information on that, but I try to keep an open mind about things.
Generally, the majority of people are quite materialistically-oriented, they care about their material possessions and don’t want to be involved with anything, just finish their daily tasks and just relax, wind down and have fun, same people you will not see on protests or rallies, you can see them in bars, night clubs, restaurants, taverns. I’ve had coworkers on one job where everyone was just talking about food, clothes, cars – which store has discount on something, what clothes to buy, what cars to buy, that kind of things, nobody really has the open mind to even discuss ideas or anything, not talking about such things as this articles, but basic ideas about health, well-being, recreational activities, sports, etc. It’s like most people are absolutely enslaved into the consumerist mentality and don’t even care about their own health, especially when I see most people around me being fat, lazy, smoking, drinking, not working out, only big at talking (about useless things).
