Pretty much everything about the “two minutes of hate”, “new speak” and “we have always been at war with Eurasia”, let alone “2 + 2 = 5”, which is basically “radical gender theory”, is pretty much our current reality…
It’s insane to me how quickly we reached this point, in the, what, three decades since “the end of history”, if not an even shorter timeframe than that, smh…
On this point, it’s also interesting how much these people loathe anything old, or historical…
Old buildings, old music, pre-Modern art, old literature, old cars - fucking anything that isn’t the latest “trend”…
Which is how (in Australia, at least), essentially anything built prior to 2005 is being replaced by utter shitboxes, which crack as soon as they are built, and flood, and regularly catch fire (fucking cladding), and kill people, but which make hundreds of millions for the mostly Chinese developers who have bought the land on which they sit…
“Nothing exists except the endless present where the party is always right” < We are here.
Even their hatred of the "Four Olds" isn't new. They have always hated "Old Ideas, Old Culture, Old Customs, and Old Habits."
The thing is, we live in a universe that only values survival. If something has existed for some time, then it probably has traits that are more optimum for existence than something different and newer than it.
Unironically, yes.

The Smith-Mundt Ban on Propaganda was apparently the only thing preventing society from descending into 1984.
