Perhaps Orwell was right

Perhaps it was 1984

This is it

'The story takes place in an imagined future in the year 1984, when much of the world is in perpetual war. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One ...' etc.

“Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.”
― George Orwell en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_O

Politicians and world leaders do realise that 1984 was a warning, not a template… Right?

@DamienMarieAtHope Reality , we are all given free reign to be unequal. The haves keep everything that way until someone takes it from them. Once they do the haves’ vested interests claim victim status. “Where did my steady investment based on exploitation go?” Liberty and Justice requires everyone who doesn’t have it, to reach and achieve it.

At Last: Charles Dickens and George Orwell collide. Much of the fiction chimes with Orwell’s first hand observations.
