Ohh I know, but in my age there is very little to lose by challenging them ...
Like a comrade said inside a bus to a central prison, you can only visualize the extent of your freedom by pulling hard against the choker leash
while the pigs were pulling him hard from hanging out the window screaming slogans

Violence and the attempt for its monopoly is the only means a social inequality can be maintained for long periods of time.
People with power understand what the monopoly of violence does.
Orwell was an awesome critical thinker. He understood the ideologies behind linguistics. In forensic linguistics we can tell that a historical society lacked a certain belief or even consideration of that belief due to their having no words in their language to identify or describe that belief. In '1984' he introduced the idea of a culture removing words from their society to force them to think along the terms the ruling factor wanted them to. If you have not read '1984' I highly recommend it.
