Orwell explains Nineteen Eighty-Four

I feel like the constant watching and surveillance of citizens is now not that bad.

No, it’s not that bad, just be sure to stay in line for the rest of your life and try not to make a significant impact in this world that could alter the status quo or anything. In other words, say (almost) anything you want, but just keep doing as you’re told and you probably won’t run into any trouble.

By the way, if you ever want to start your own business be sure and send me all the plans and stuff. You can trust me. I mean, you’ve got nothing to hide, right? I should also take a gander at all your other personal and business information. So, when you get a chance, send all that as well to me. You have 3 days. Or, let’s make this easier for the both of us and just give me all your usernames and passwords to every account you have in your life. Or better yet, I should just hack every account you have. Is that ok?

Please don’t bother to ask me why I want this information, nor what I’ll do with it. It’s for your own safety and protection and I can assure you that I only have your best interests at heart. It’s suspicious and treasonous to question things like this, so just shut up and do what you’re told.

See? Not so bad.
