‘HOW ORWELL’S 1984 CAN BE SEEN AS AN ARGUMENT FOR GOD’S EXISTENCE
Atheism is not only fundamental to the power of the Party in 1984 but is also its central weakness’
https://mindmatters.ai/2021/04/how-orwells-1984-can-be-seen-as-an-argument-for-gods-existence/

Both the party of capital and the party of God expropriate interests rights; are the flip sides of the same coin so neither can win. Earth is destroyed by those who believe in hell, heaven or capital. Neither party is necessary, or any party is necessary for Republic Sovereignty. That is constituted by the democratic rights of diverse interests. Else is it not true that war is peace, love is hate and freedom is slavery so they vanquish each other? #TheFoundationOfTheFederation #DialecticPrinciple #Philosophy #1984GeorgeOrwell #DialecticAnalysis

"The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard." — George Orwell, "1984," published in 1949.

Oh merde.

Moi qui pensais qu'ils tenteraient de la préserver en en faisant leur Emmanuel Goldstein (c.f. #1984GeorgeOrwell ) à eux, pour alimenter régulièrement leur 2 min de la haine…
Je ne pensais pas que cela irait si loin, si vite…

Some new reading material has arrived. Probably the next two on the physical reading list. Hadrian's Wall by Adrian Goldsworthy seems like a good starting point to get some reading in on the subject before my #hadrianswall trip later in the summer, and I've enjoyed his other histories that I've read.

And it unfortunately seems like a rather fitting time to read George Orwell's #1984GeorgeOrwell

Jedem Informatiker klappen sich die Zehennägel hoch, wenn er überlegt, was eine tatsächliche Umsetzung bedeuten würde.

Wir würden dann - privat - auf vom Land gemangten PCs in einer Überwachungshölle sitzen. Wer in einem Corporate-Umfeld Arbeit, weiß, was das bedeutet.

Da sind die Bundesländer wirklich weltfremd. Sie sollten mal auf jemanden hören, der etwas davon versteht.

Horror!! Walking telescreens #1984 #1984GeorgeOrwell

Am listening to 1984 while I clean prior to hosting guests. Have gotten to the point where BB increased the chocolate ration a day after halving it. To less than it used to be. And everyone is thrilled and praising him.

I wish this book was less relevant to the current newscycle...

The world is becoming like Brave New World and 1984.I am very scared of this.This is really weird.

Und zu Palantir passend jetzt eine ganz neue ARD Doku:

Kritik aus datenschutzrechtlicher Sicht an Palantir

https://datenschutzticker.de/2022/06/ueberblick-zur-umstrittenen-palantir-software/

Aber genau wegen dieser kritisierten Fähigkeiten sind Polizei und Innenminister so scharf auf die Software. Rechtliche Hürden und die Verfassung interessieren da wenig.

Die Erfahrung zeigt: was mal angeschafft wurde, bleibt. Hier ist ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung Orwells '1984'-Welt gegangen worden...

Due to a certain somewhat recent brilliant UK and EU legislation, you may begin to see mandated age verification.
For those wanting to circumvent this stupid piece of legislation:
- If the service allows you to choose your own country (e.g. Twitter), a simple country change is enough without any need to tunnel your traffic elsewhere.
- If the service relies on linked phone number, unlink your EU phone number. If you use your phone for 2FA... Please switch to the more secure measures, like TOTP.
- If the service relies on GeoIP information (e.g. Discord), tunnel your traffic to a non-EU country.
Any of these actions will invalidate legal protections EU grants however, so unless you already have an isolated identity, or you live in a repressive regime with little rights to begin with, these would act more like the last resort.

Also, congrats to UK, Ireland and the rest of the EU for attempting to strip (pseudo-)anonymity for those who cannot risk to even let themselves known a little, let alone handing over their strongly-identifiable information just to prove "ooooh I'm an adult"! Or was it your plan in the first place, selling people from repressive regimes or under the pressure of such regimes out, and satisfying your achievement of police states? Either way, 👏🖕👏🖕

Reading this book today hits differently than it did the first time years ago. Talk about feeling seen. I am not enjoying the current 2025 day-to-day reenactment of 1984, to be honest.

Actually controlling language is a way to control thought.

On the flip side how am I suppose to know what a person is thinking and evaluate them if they aren't allowed to express their thoughts in the way they think is appropriate? #1984georgeorwell

Robert Reich - clear, concise, straight to the point 👍

"Why is Trump so hell-bent on defunding PBS?

It’s part of a larger plan — one where he can control not just what we do, but what we think."

Current events have exposed me to the warmongering slogan "Peace through Strength" way more than I care for. Every time someone trots that warmonger slogan, I can't help but be reminded of the similar double think slogan thought up by George Orwell in his novel 1984.

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength.

These were the satirical slogans of the fictional government in that distopian novel. But it is becoming a sad reality.

Orwellian.

The Trump administration might as well be proclaiming:

"War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength."

Actually, the GOP is already pushing that last one hard. Just look at the Trump cabinet.

#1984 was profoundly ahead of it's time. It had a passage about the party ( the #government ) looking at what people are doing through their #Windows.

Another reason to use #GNU / #Linux instead.

Schlimmer gehr immer: die Kombi aus "1984" und "Brave New World" - was haben die Amis eigentlich gegen die Chinesen? Die Systeme sind doch bereits dieselben!

Es ist schon lange her, dass ich den Roman #1984georgeorwell gelesen hatte. Jetzt habe ich mich an die #graphicnovel gewagt. Adaptieet und Illustriert wurde die Geschichte von Fido Nesti. Die düsteren Zeichnungen verstärken den dystopischen Inhalt der Erzählung. Große Empfehlung #bookstodon #lesen #orwell

So, #AgentOrange is not aiming for #Gilead, it is aiming for #Oceania of #1984GeorgeOrwell?

Or maybe both at the same time?

(The trump must be referred to as "it", as it has banned personal pronouns)

I shamefully haven't raed this yet. It's on my ever-expanding list of books to read. I have read and loved "Animal Farm".
