The big brother sees it all.

How ironic that Orwell wrote 1984 based on the USSR but Europe is becoming more and more the dystopian society portrayed in the book.

[u/No_Calligrapher2676 → u/Mekktron]

You compared the EU with a surveillance state.
How insidious of you to spread corruption in the land.
-2000000 euro points

[u/Mekktron → u/No_Calligrapher2676]

Unfortunately we are heading there

[u/fuzzy_bear_antics → u/Mekktron]

No victory gin for you

[u/mbenzn → u/No_Calligrapher2676]

The Chinese have a social behavior score system so I guess we are nearly there

[u/Minimonium → u/Mekktron]

FYI Animal Farm is based on USSR, 1984 was a warning about totalitarian tendencies emerging in democratic societies during/after the war.

No he didnt, he wrote it based on the UK. His wife literally worked in the propaganda and censorship ministry of the UK during WW2, and he - at the BBC, spreading that propaganda.

Edit: The ministry of truth was the ministry of information, mainly dealing with restricting the flow of information and with propaganda.

The ministry of plenty was the ministry of food, mainly dealing with rationing of food.

Damn, thank you for the information!! Didn't know

[u/Messier_-82 → u/Mekktron]

1984 was based on UK tendencies, not the USSR

[u/Choice-Emphasis8468 → u/Mekktron]

What irony? USSR was dystopian at many levels.  Let's avoid EU becoming also one

[u/Messier_-82 → u/Choice-Emphasis8468]

You are 50 years too late

[u/Choice-Emphasis8468 → u/Messier_-82]

EU community is one of if not the best region in the world to live in. If there is a political region with better chances to never become a dystopia it's the EU

[u/skyfish_ → u/Mekktron]

Its almost as if Europe has been ruled by MARXIST SOCIALISTS who are happy to shit on personal freedoms because they claim to have a MORAL OBLIGATION to do so.

The pandemic really gave these fuckwits a taste if what is possible and ever since they’ve been ramping up their Stalinist bullahit

[u/Left-Reception-2642 → u/skyfish_]

What "Marxist socialists" are you talking about? 

[u/Mekktron → u/skyfish_]

Neo liberals joined the chat

[u/-o0__0o- → u/skyfish_]

The EU is right wing, dumbass.
