One of the few things in this world that individuals have complete control over is thought. I get what Orwell was saying, but it’s up to everyone to 1. Learn and 2. Think critically and for yourself.
You can resist brainwashing, indoctrination, social engineering, dumbing down, and trickery. You can refuse drugs. You decide what media you want to consume. Stand on your own two feet and live your own life according to your own terms, conditions, discernment, and standards. The issue with the above only arises when people are too weak-minded to not gulp down any old thing that’s put in front of them.
