🇮🇱 Netanyahu pulled Orwell’s 1984 off the shelf and said the other side runs a daily hate film. He is glad some people do not buy that hatred, while his own government pays for the modern version of the screen. Palantir is in the war room, stitching together targeting and battlefield data. Separate checks go to influence shops that train chatbots and media so the story comes back friendly. Orwell wrote about a state that owns the screen. This era rents the algorithm and the contractor. The book still works in both directions. Writer: Lucas

The world is already Orwellian. Censoring and Surveilling the Internet = Protecting Children Cracking down on peaceful protestors = Combatting terrorism Being ripped off by greedy billionaires = Freedom Everything they say is a lie.

This is Senate House in London. When George Orwell wrote 1984, the building served as the model for the headquarters of the Ministry of Truth (the propaganda ministry). The Ministry of Truth decided what was true, for example that 2+2=5. It was responsible for censorship and rewriting history, and it banned the word “free” in the sense of freedom. When we projected our banned TV ads onto buildings in London, we thought this would be a fitting location. Nineteen Eighty-Four was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual.

“'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.' We’re not yet living in Orwell’s totalitarian society. So the members of our ruling party don’t quite reject the evidence. They avert their eyes and ears. Above all, they do nothing."
