Orwell's Words Twisted by Those He Warned About

George Orwell wrote 1984 as a warning against oppressive state control and the twisting of truth, but now in 2024, it's not only the government that's got us under its thumb—it's also the tech behemoths who largely control the government. Orwell's fear of Big Brother has been hijacked by leftists who conveniently ignore how their beloved Big Tech censors dissenting voices while feeding us spoonfuls of euphemistic nonsense. They babble on about Orwellian threats while applauding Silicon Valley's stranglehold on information. The irony is thick. The left follows an Orwellian newspeak manual—where Orwell fought for the clarity of truth, today's power players (both corporate and political) prefer to obscure it, drowning us in a sea of irrelevant data and mindless entertainment. Orwell wanted us to face unpleasant facts, but in today's world, the left's cozy relationship with corporate/state surveillance suggests they'd rather we don't notice the two-way screen we're glued to.
