History is a perpetual motion machine

Why open your eyes and talk nonsense, insisting that you are a xxist country?
Why is the Great Internet Wall not gradually demolished, but built up year by year?
Why is the castration knife of the General Administration of Lights sharper?
Are these the inertia of history?
Why is there no resistance to let the inertia gradually die?
I thought that the trend was to become more and more open, but the reality is that except for foreigners in 2008, after a few years of opening up, it gradually became more and more tight.
The doubts in 2015, I did not expect to figure out the taste from the old movie in 1984, and the original book is even older, published in 1949.


The ending of the male protagonist is very interesting. He was brainwashed and said affectionately to the portrait of "Big Brother": "I love you." He has become a part of the centralization, and his own people are still shot. As a fart, whether you rebel or support, can't change the outcome of the cannon fodder.

In the era of totalitarianism, the blood of excessive burning, in the post-centralization era, the ashes are cold.
After realizing that I am just a cannon fodder, I don't believe in anything, just let it be inertia, I can't bear it if I can't commit it, that's it.
Just like the heroine, unable to change everything that disgusts, just have sex, at least this is an unbrainwashed, real private feeling. The spiritual frontier has been walled, and one can only pursue carnal desires. How similar is it to the current fashion of entertaining to death.

1984 quotes

  • Winston Smith: I know you'll fail. Something in this world... some spirit you will never overcome...

    O'Brien: What is it, this principle?

    Winston Smith: I don't know. The spirit of man.

    O'Brien: And do you consider yourself a man?

    Winston Smith: Yes.

    O'Brien: If you're a man, Winston, you're the last man. Your kind is extinct. We are the inheritors. Do you realize that you are alone? You are outside history. You unexist. Get up.

    [Winston gets up and O'Brien shows him his reflection in a mirror. Winston is disheveled and beaten]

    O'Brien: *That* is the last man. If you are human, *that* is humanity.

  • O'Brien: Power is tearing human minds apart and putting them back together in new shapes of your own choosing.
