“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Absolutely astounding how that guy predicted all that, but I guess the creation of all totalitarian states follow the same path. And the quote “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” is happening right before our eyes.
The are using 1984 as a model!
Exactly.
When this crap started in Portland over a year ago, I was stuck in Cottage Grove with a horrible man after the fire.. supposedly a good conservative. He insisted I meet his lifelong best friend.. a radical democrat feminist bitch who sat there and bragged that Jefferson statue had just been destroyed. I walked out and said I don’t eat with traitors. I may be a bitch, but at least I am one who loves this country unlike well behaved sell outs!
Orwell seems to have understood that power comes not only from the barrel of a rifle, but also from the ability to erase history by altering the written word (the 1619 Project and CRT), by changing language (”birthing people” or “chest feeders”) or by removing statues reflecting our past. How long until the Washington Monument is torn down to demonstrate how We The People (or some of us) must reject our first President because he was a slave owner?
