The democrats and tech giants took 1984 as an implementation manual, not a cautionary tale:

crimethink – To even consider any thought not in line with the principles of Ingsoc. Doubting any of the principles of Ingsoc. All crimes begin with a thought. So, if you control thought, you can control crime.

Newspeak – The official language of Oceania. Newspeak is “politically correct” speech taken to its maximum extent. Newspeak is based on standard English, but all words describing “unorthodox” political ideas have been removed. In addition, there was an attempt to remove the overall number of words in general, to limit the range of ideas that could be expressed.

ownlife – Individualism and eccentricity. A desire to do something for your own benefit. (i.e. hobbies, ownership of property, love, or any other thoughtcrime)

  • ‘I do not expect to see home again’…
  • ‘I don’t want to live in a society that does these sort of things’
  • ‘I believed in Obama’s promises’
  • ‘Presidents openly lie to secure the office’
  • ‘Government has granted itself power it is not entitled to’
  • ‘Whenever we had a debate in the office on how to handle crimes, they do not defend due process – they defend decisive action. They say it is better to kick someone out of a plane than let these people have a day in court. It is an authoritarian mindset in general.’
  • ‘Once you go on the network, I can identify your machine. You will never be safe whatever protections you put in place.’
