A dive into “1984” in
A dive into “1984” in relation to modern politics can’t be done without pissin’ in everyone’s Froot-Loops, so grab a tall glass of Victory Gin and let’s talk about how The Party functions, how doublethink makes us crazy, and how it’s not just those nutters on the other side that do it.
I take a few jabs at current sacred cows of the Left and Right here. Hopefully the comments won't look like Hate Week.
Post-release edit: It's been pointed out that I grossly oversimplified the military analysis later in the video, which is true. Man-portable air defense systems and maneuver warfare are a lot more complicated than this video implies.
As for that one particular doublethink example mentioned so very briefly, some of the counterpoints have been . . . impressive contortions of language in their own right. But not interesting enough to discuss the matter further.
