We have always been at war with Eurasia
It's seriously worrying how much they're treating 1984 as a playbook.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The fun thing is, most of the people I know haven't read 1984, they have no idea what we're in for. Oh they know its vaguely about a dystopian society, but they can't wake up each morning read the headlines and point to the exact page in that book the headline came from, so they can't seem to see what's coming tomorrow.
Fun. Fucking. Times.
1984 is probably the most important book I've ever read, and I've been making my way through a book at all times since I learned to read.
The state of America right now proves to me most Americans have not read 1984.
Brave New World is another excellent book along these lines.
Less than half of Americans read a book a year
48.5 percent of adults reported having read at least one book in the past year

And my guess is the vast majority of those that are reading are mostly scooping books from booktok (literary smut) or something off the New York Times bestseller lists
"There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.”
They're not smart enough to do that. It's a poor facsimile.
No more forever wars...
Unless they are mine. - Thank you for your attention. DJT
Pedo empire totally committed to zio genocide.
Bad Trump 1984 version: "We have always been at war with SNL."
“Truth Socials is peace. Schools is slavery. Fossil Fuels is strength.”
The US has been at war 228 out of 246 years since 1776
So... not technically wrong, I guess.
1776+246=2022.
Current year is 2026, BTW.
That's a weird way of saying they can't win.
Donald Trumps can't live forever.
A war can't go on without people. It's the people who's willing to do the bidding of trump. If they'd refuse, there would be no war. It's quite simple, achshually.
So the U.S. military is running out of munitions. Interesting, interesting.
