Brave New World comes first:

Pic related. We are currently living in a corporate-owned hellhole with a propaganda-driven, excessively bias media.

Even worse, a lot of people who realize this and are upset by it are convinced that the answer to these problems is a bigger, more powerful government, not understanding that the government itself is even more corrupt.

That's a bad way of looking at it, and is not how the person who coined that meme intended it to be used. Neil Postman's entire life's work (especially Amusing Ourselves to Death and The End of Education which I STRONGLY recommend) was devoted to explaining that it's a combination of both much like Farenheight 451.

They're both possible but it's looking like BNW is more accurate.

People aren't even aware that their own government and bullshit media are straight up lying to them because they're complacent, drugged out degenerates that think they're good people.

>>
>>79243227
1984 is too crazy, but BNW is how the world is now, minus the test tube baby thing.

Brave New World would be the shit though because another thing from it that doesn't exist in the real world is the option to completely leave modern society and still have cool tribes to go live in. I would be chilling in some tribe somewhere. You can even visit either way, but if you're in the city you have to be "modern acting".
>>
We're really more in the 1984 setting, but with the degeneracy present in Brave New World.

The masses are losing all their morals for pleasure, all the while the government gains more and more power.

We can see more prominent characteristics of 1984 in our own culture: duckspeak, people are constantly ignoring facts for what they believe, and that the liberals are acting like drones to every movement the media covers.

Like others have said both. 1984 is an examination of the security apparatus surrounding the inner workings of the party, and BNW is an analysis of the hedonim of the proles that keeps them occupied. Newspeak, double think, and the intense scrutiny only exists on the inner party or about ten percent of the influential population in total. The top one percent exist beyond these constraints but enable them because they actually belief the lies they force others to tell. Finally the proles have very little restrictions,but they are so hedonistic and distracted they do nothing to harm the state. Tragically neither outlook is actually contradictory, but both are becoming true

1984 is what we're living in

Except in 1984 they made the constant big brother supervision mandatory

The greatest thing they figured out is that people will resist if you make them put a camera in their home, so what to do?

Sell you a camera, and make you carry it everywhere with you. Make it stylish and a status symbol so everyone will want one. It's not just a camera, it's also a GPS to track you, to listen in on your calls, to track your shopping habits, to know everything about you.
That's what the modern smartphone has become, and they don't have to make you carry one, you choose to carry one, you'll pay to carry one.

I just finished part 1, and the last couple of pages there's a part where one of the firemen explains why they need to destroy books which was pretty interesting.

good analysis, but im afraid you put too much faith in an airtight regime

they didnt instill 1984 or "make you carry it everywhere with you"

first, its the huxley brand of materialistic hedonism that makes us want the smart phone cameras

then we enslave ourselves to surveillance

WE have collectively created the 1984 world, and everyone who posts personal photos, who records any public or private act for the sake of views or likes, is complicit in this.

truly, good analysis, but id hafta say it was no conspiratorial scam, but something we much more ironically asked for ourselves

'If there is hope,’ wrote Winston, ‘it lies in the proles.’

If there was hope, it MUST lie in the proles, because only there in those swarming disregarded masses, 85 per cent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within.

Weapons are more a sign and gauge of freedom - If they are trying to take them from you, you can imagine something bad is likely coming next. It is a litmus test for how much your government fears you.

Part of it is also control of the media.

Have to remember the Memory Holes Winston talked about where they'd incinerate information that wasn't supposed to get out to people. They made up people and stories that never existed or never happened just to cultivate faith in the current regime. The same regime where the 3 basic rules were backwards logic.

Disagreeing with the government was also death or torture. They'd indoctrinate you if you were a lucky candidate.

Both are rather fantastical. The closest thing to 1984 made manifest is North Korea. The World State of BNW is a hypothetical end to human progress if that end is the maximization of human happiness, the facilitation of man's cravings (youth, freedom from pain, worry and boredom, meaning, gratification). O'Brien admits that the Inner Party's aims are self-serving and megalomaniac, while Mond sacrifices his own love for truth to the sake of humanity. BNW is certainly dystopian but it's hard to call the World State a nightmare, though it is obviously undesirable to a normal individual like The Savage who didn't fit into it or anywhere else.

So it's either bits of both and neither. The reality is more complex than either book's scenario.

no one revolted in 1946 because everyone feared stalin, beria and co. not to mention had suffered alot due to civil war, red terror and ww2. they weren't ready for another round immediately and knew that regime has enough loyal executioners.

1991 soldiers weren't willing to shoot their own families without hesitation like in days of stalin.

Aspects of both. Party leadership/alphas run the show. Party membership/betas/white sjws are the cogs in the machine, the primary focus of the carrot and stick of the police state and a targeted culture of hedonistic excess. Gammas/non-members/spics/niggers are the slave-caste, allowed free exercise of their minds because they are incapable of using it. The state uses brutal violent repression and control of language and rewriting of history only when necessary, but self-perpetuating ignorance and sensualism free these tools from the need for constant use.

We have some of both, our society has grown both more vapid and obsessed with self gratification and it also has large groups of people who happily advocate for giving up our rights in exchange for "safety". People already try to condition their children to certain political and religious ideologies before they understand what they're being told, then they get pumped full of drugs and sent to school so they can be taught conformity and have their creativity and individuality crushed.

Honestly though neither book perfectly captures what we've done, but I think it's indisputable that we already live in a dystopia to a certain degree.

This.

>BNW for masses
Huxley focuses more on the management of the average citizen, aka the prole / proletariat / plebeian. eg:Soma, feelies, mass consumption and repetition of messages "spending is better than mending"

>1984 for people working for government and corporate leadership
Winston worked for "Big Brother" aka Federal Government/A massive mega-gorp blurred entity, so this exactly.

Orwell briefly mentions the 'proles' aka the public masses through Winston's observances, and mentions that they have the power, but over all they are left to their own devices since they can be easily managed and placated through dissemination of liters of beer, and the pornography manufactured by big brother.

Orwell focused on how controlling governemnt will control thoughts via words, and manipulate the publics' perception on the past while manipulating the views of today. He who controls the past, controls the future - He who controls the present, controls the past.

They're both two sides of the same coin. Both Huxley and Orwell knew each other. Both had concerns about the future.

Orwell believed that the state would control people through police state, censorship, tyranny and propaganda. And of course political correctness (newspeak).

Huxley believed that if everybody was dumbed down and constantly distracted by frivolity then there would be no need to ban books, because nobody would read them.

We live in a mixture of both, and move increasingly towards both.

People engage in cheap, shallow endless pleasure and pop culture. People take drugs instead of dealing with their problems.

And then there's an ever increasing police state. They were both half right, and were completed by the other.

I used to believe a method of living where my existence serves as a piece of someone else's construction was okay if I was able to have a decent personal life.

The purpose of every person's life should be goal oriented towards advancing humanity positively in an objective way. Every action has meaning if the result of the action is an impression.

Problem is people rarely have a moderate opinion on Ayn Rand, they either love her or hate her.

For me I just take value from her works, and discard what I found invaluable.

Fountainhead is very much a story (although an extreme one) about the struggle for artistic integrity and originality, and that;s respectable.

Atlas Shrugged goes very long winded, but is still on point in how it puts across how scum of an ideology communism actually is.

But yeah, her philosophy is too extreme, and autistic. It also creates edgelords.

>The funny thing is that (((they))) will trigger the prophesies in Revelations and most people will go to Hell regardless of whether they read this or not.
Most people won't go to hell because they'll see the goddamned traitors humiliate themselves and then they'll realize they have to fight them to the death because it's the only chance they have to not be doomed. The cannibal uprising will be hysterical because it'll be so obvious who's been damned and how particular damnation is.

Imagine constant discomfort that escalates with time. This is what happens when the cock key of david rocks and the curse is broken. After it's grown into proportional girth they'll all get sick and start actually dying. For the most part only the ever-vicious will be damned, that and all the faggots that can't tell that they're damned.
For the rest of the suckers - their doom is to never go to heaven, the afterlife can be a miserable place for the disloyal even if they practice all the tricks in the book.

This.

Look at how the proles are given shit tonnes of porn to consume, shitty songs to sing, lotteries to lose, and alcohol to drink. Orwell knew very well that you cannot rule an entire nation with an iron fist, and the proles are a representation of that.

We are the proles. The politicians are the inner party. The rich are the outer party.

In order to be free, you must be insignificant. The people will never be insignificant in a democracy, as they are the ones who must support the politicians and pay the rich. The rich must fund the politicians, and the politicians must are having their every move criticized by other politicians and rich people. Thinking that we must be members of the party just because Winston was is a blunder.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Windows 10, is in fact, NSA/Windows, or as I've recently taken to calling it, NSA plus Windows. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning NSA surveillance system made useful by the NSA corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by NIST.
Many computer users run a modified version of the NSA system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of NSA which is widely used today is often called "Windows", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NSA system, developed by the NSA Special Projects Directorate.
There really is a Windows, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Windows is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete intelligence collection system. Windows is normally used in combination with the NSA operating system: the whole system is basically NSA with Windows added, or NSA/Windows. All the so-called "Windows" distributions are really distributions of NSA/Windows.

Orwell was really 1930s-style Authoritarianism taken to its logical conclusion, with the addition of speculative technology.

Huxley depicted 1930s American Jewish values of Hollywood and consumerism taken to their logical conclusion, with the addition of speculative technology (particularly technology relating to advancing the cause of vanity and hedonism).

Like most people are saying, the 21st-century West is both, to varying degrees of intensity, and varying between countries.

Reminder that Orwell and Huxley were members of the Fabian society, promoting SOCIALISM. 19 British Prime ministers are also from the Fabian society.

Huxlry wrote a letter to Orwell, few parts:

Dear Mr. Orwell, ....... greeing with all that the critics have written of it, I need not tell you, yet once more, how fine and how profoundly important the book is.

May I speak instead of the thing with which the book deals — the ultimate revolution?

The first hints of a philosophy of the ultimate revolution — the revolution which lies beyond politics and economics, and which aims at total subversion of the individual's psychology and physiology — are to be found in the Marquis de Sade, who regarded himself as the continuator, the consummator, of Robespierre and Babeuf.

My own belief is that the ruling oligarchy will find less arduous and wasteful ways of governing and of satisfying its lust for power, and these ways will resemble those which I described in Brave New World.

Within the next generation I believe that the world's rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience.

"Orwell and Huxley were both members of The Fabian Society, a satanic Freemasonry group with ties to Tavistock,both groups working to bring about a New World Order.They met one another in the early 1930's through the Fabian Society,in London."
