Life imitating art again.
The first time I encountered this it was expressed as the "thought police" in George Orwell's 1984.

‘The effect of hijacked victimhood is to ‘delegitimize’ actual victims and redefine them as threatening. The powerful parties that hijack victimhood also cast their ‘political opposition as … morally polluted … [and] undermine a sense of legitimate opposition by presenting the opposition as malicious and evil victimizers…’’

"Es ist schon etwas Schönes, die Vernichtung von #Wörtern", schrieb George #Orwell vor rund 80 Jahren. In "#1984" befreit das Wahrheitsministerium die herkömmliche Sprache von unnötigen Worten oder Nebenbedeutungen - bis "die Begriffe fehlen, die das Denken formen". Was nicht den Vorstellungen "des großen Bruders" entspricht, wird vernichtet.“
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

"I have often laughed to think of that recruiting poster and of all the men who must have been lured into the army by just that poster and afterwards despised by their children for not being Conscientious Objectors."
George #Orwell, in his essay "My Country Right or Left" (1940)

Nothing new here. This was all predicted seventy years ago. #Orwell told us.
The U.S. government made a film worth twenty minutes of your time to to watch.
@kuketzblog das ist so erstaunlich, wie weitsichtig #Orwell #1984 geschrieben hat – die Macht wird nicht überwacht, sie können die #Überwachung abschalten, die Sklaven nicht. Gebt eure Gesundheitsdaten nicht weg! Widerstand mit allen Mitteln! #Überwachungsimperialismus
The Orwellian irony
Donny calls his social media outlet for spreading lies and hate Truth Media
In amazing foresight 1984, has the
"The Ministry of Truth" removing people & events from books newspapers and historical records
Also banning words and expressions
And constantly changing who they were at war with & who to hate
Sadly George got Big Brother confused with The Apprentice!
In 1984, Orwell explores the malleability of truth in a power-hungry dictatorial state, as seen in quotes such as "The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth." The Party manipulates truth to maintain control, forcing individuals to accept contradictory realities through "doublethink".
Orwell warns of the dangers of distorting truth, emphasizing its vital role in preserving freedom and individuality.
