Reading Orwell's 1984 in Post-Trump Context: Understanding the Term ‘Orwellian’

Delve into the timeless dystopian masterpiece of "1984" by George Orwell through a modern lens! In this thought-provoking analysis, we explore the profound relevance of Orwell's work in our post-Trump era, shedding light on the political writings of George Orwell and his enduring influence on our understanding of politics and language.

Introduction

"1984" is not regarded as one of George Orwell's most significant works for nothing. It serves as a profound documentation of humanity's future—cultural, political, and economic.

In this vibrant analysis, we embark on a journey to uncover the realization of George Orwell's prophecies of imminent doom, meticulously archived in his monumental and prescient novel, "1984." We explore these prophecies in the aftermath of the election of Donald Trump as the President of America.

The Post-Trump context paints a chilling picture:

a) Blatant Governmental Control, b) Constant and Severe State Surveillance, c) Distortion of History to Meet Political Ends, and d) The Alarming Rise of Fascism Worldwide.

However, it's essential to emphasize that adding the title 'post-Trump context' doesn't imply that these brazen distortions are solely the handiwork of Trump himself. Nor does it seek to attribute these troubling developments to Trump alone. Instead, this book strives to convey to the reader just how openly, after Trump's election, we witnessed an unprecedented surge in the pursuit of disruptive policies.

Fear of public retribution and outcry has become irrelevant as divisive policies are relentlessly pursued with the full might of the state. Propaganda and news have merged into one entity, and politics reigns over the people's minds. Voices of intellect and sanity are pursued with the same fervour as criminals and fugitives.
