So, in other words, "Sure, you may think 1984 is a dystopian nightmare, but look at this woman here, she's perfectly content to just be a cog in the machine and do what she's told. Be like her!"
lolwut
This is fucking hysterical to me because that Literally happened in 2020. Burning stores looting shops and gang beating people who just wanted peace was "breaking the rules", and it was collaboration with the regime to be the ideal citizen.
Its flaunting just how fucked shit has been and will be. Laws are for peons.
I can't find it now but there's a quote from Stalin or Lenin how "we seek nothing less than the complete elimination of law, its replacement being the will of the people".
(Unless the will of the people is to live and work with people who are of similar creed)
Wouldn't that be Parsons? Smith's neighbor who was glad his kid denounced him for (presumably) saying negative things about the party in his sleep.
In other words "True 1984 has never been tried!"
