The lack of the several minute rage, and complete lack of ministry of love and truth being named as such does not change the fact that all you need to do is look hard enough, and the level of duplicity in saying one thing but doing another, and disguising it through legalistic doublespeak is rampant.

For someone who was around before all of this connectivity became possible, the speed with which the primitives to realize so many of these authorial worst case scenarios possible are being converged upon by a society already explicitly aware of what to look out for is frankly horrifying.

That's all of human history, not some new development, and hardly the core of 1984. There is no state control of speech and thought, no enforced caste system, no eternal war, no thought police.

This sort of histrionic posting is why "literally 1984" has become a meme mocking the people who say it.
