this is a joke but i think we tend to forget that Big Brother isn’t SUPPOSED to be menacing to the citizens in 1984. it’s theoretically comforting, that’s why it’s called “Big Brother.” you’re supposed to think “aw gee, it sure is nice to know someone is watching out for me 24/7 in case anything bad happens :)”

my point is the Reality basically isnt any different at all lmao.
