Orwellian Aspects of this World

Post by TheLight954 »

The world seems Orwellian in many aspects. Economics tell people that inflation is a good thing,yet everyone wants lower prices. Politicians tell people that more jobs are a good thing, yet a majority of the people hate their jobs. People are told that public education is a good thing, yet most children hate school. People are told that war in the middle east is necessary to preserve peace, which is completely backwards.

In the novel 1984, the Party used Newspeak, something like what we now call 'politically correct' terminology.

So, for example, nowadays, promoting a legal right for an unnatural union of sodomites is called 'marriage equality.' Legalization of murdering babies in the womb is called 'pro-choice' or 'a woman's right to choose.'
