before they leave they are all orwell experts. they have read several ways pass as waste--essays. >> in today's context there is a censorship at work within broader society and that is how orwell uses it in 1984. the thought is policing what you say aloud and what you think. >> orwell talks about children who will rat you out. as someone with children i can empathize with this. as the idea that you have no private internal self and you have to train your thinking with what is expected of you. the right condemns the woke left as they term it. on the flip side you have the left that says that the political right, with their obsession inside of what they see as fake news and an orwellian disinformation is engaged in their own type of thought fleecing and cult thing. that idea of a cult way of thinking around what in 1984, is called the big brother is something orwell developed in 1984 and it has become closely associated with him. >> one chapter in the book is titled the thought fleecing. i want to expand on this. is there any discus

i do not think that orwell intended it that way. it suggests he was not someone who accorded women the agency he accorded to men. >> i know you teach a class on this. animal farm is a book taught in middle school and "1984" in high school. do you think of misogyny in his writing gets the attention and how it is taught in america today and in recent decades? >> well, at someone, i went to an all girls high school in which i read "1984.". i can tell you that there is, there is a passage in that book of startling sexual violence where winston smith before he begins his relationship with julia imagines raping and murdering her in this fantasy during the ritualized two minute hate that takes place every day. and that was not a passage that we discussed in the reading in high school. i mean, we talked about this idea of what it meant to cultural a rebel from the waist down but we did knock into these other moment. he also fantasizes winston smith about killing his first wife and pushing her off a cliff to her death. i think it is awkward.

one more line from orwell's ghost. you write orwell's novels never end happily ever after. why do you think that is? i think orwell himself know he didn't end happily ever after. died at age 46 of tuberculosis as he has moments of optimism in his writing and his personal life. but i think he was someone who fundamentally was quite pessimistic about society. and i think he had there's a real tension. you see all of orwell's work between a for a kind of better social revolution and social change will improve society and real pessimism about whether human beings are really capable of the type of self-sacrifice and abdication of the will to power that's necessary, secure that kind of social change. i mean you see that writ large throughout 84. and i think that his general pessimism about, human nature sort of shows through in all these novels where the heroine always a kind of gangly, awkward male like himself comes to a bad end, may come back to the students that you teach george orwell to what's their biggest missing understanding of george orwell when they walk into your cla

in the first sentence orwell says something about the bad ways in which people are using english now. of course that happens generation after generation after generation. take one of the examples he goes after and remember this is 1946. he talks about the word fascism and he says fascism has no meaning anymore except insofar as it signals something not desirable. >> i think that'ss a direct quotation. >> s 1946.t if you want to know what fascism is that would be a good stage to think about. these days i'm called a fascist, your call a fascist. many people in the from are being called fascist all the time, completely unfairly. so is her difference? you have tonc jump off the word fascism that is her difference between how things are now on the left or conceivably the right, now as opposed to 1946? or if you like, 1846 or 1746? >> i know what you mean. there is a surface different in that before roughly the late '60s come one was expected to be more careful inre one's public statements in terms of how you phrase things. at a lectern for example, as opposed to win you were just talking.

eric arthur blair is george orwell. orwell actually is his pen name. both about his time initially working as police officer in burma. and his disenchantment with the empire. but then being and out in paris and london, as he put it, slumming it in those two metropolitan capitals. and his experience with the unemployed and underemployed of 1930s europe. so he never formally changes his name, though. i mean, his first wife, eileen o'shaughnessy, becomes eileen o'shaughnessy. blair and his second wife takes the last name. but that is not his legal surname. it's a nom de plume. what did he write that first novel and how many novels did he write over the course of his writing career? so he's write seven books, length novels and nonfiction, as well as countless newspaper and magazine articles. over the course of his career. he starts his first novel, which burmese days. it's not first novel he publishes, but it's the first one he writes in the 1920s, while he's serving as a police officer in burma. and the first book that he publishes is down out in paris, i

with orwell almost as 1972. talk about type facing on a tiny tangent and ask about capitalization. so one could imagine and print a scenario in which i am called a fascist. you not riffing on here, any comments on any of that. i can definitely imagine it. i don't think i have the change could you please had nothing to do with creating its training euphemism treadmill. most most i have not done it with sweat rolling down my bro i'm tooab busy thing which a written capitalize it. but now for the times i'm not going to get anywhere else but the sad thing is it's at the point that if i don't do it, if it's going anywhere but my desk, if it's going anywhere but my desk and making sonos to it for me. so there's a couple of things. a one, i think for this is been recorded so i hope it's not wrong. i think the new edition of the says about whites but came out a few weeksle ago you could do one or the other. i think they're being flexible. there certainly ones who are saying you should do it. or at least you might consider doing it. and this is one of the cases that is about changing. >> i

at the same time, snitching and a bunch of cameras are thriving , just like orwell.ng dictatorships, the eu has long since turned into the worst possible example of dictatorship. in fact, the genocide of belarusians abroad, which they don't like to talk about to speak opposition politics, there is, was and will be. and it will be, only worse. that was his first. uh message, well and then - the second one appeared, after all, 2020 was a mistake and a false start, and this must be recognized first of all for yourself. what kind of majority are we talking about, if i personally observed that 300 people came out to two schools on angarskaya, but let another 200 go to the center, out of 25 thousand voters 500 voters, how many percent is that? having lived in europe, i see that gaidukevich was right. i can say, as a member of the commission on return, like a good man, got on the path of correction, at least well publicly, as in fact, i don’t know, thank you very much, it was the editors’ club, see you in exactly one week, goodbye. who and how helps to make our life better,

this is anotherex example they demanded everyone else believe it. 1984 by george orwell the end of theine. there's no other purging the line that is not to say called what they want the songs are encroach out people'sop rights it's one that we are able to say that. >> host: entered doyle a person like jk rowling has the clout to defend herself. and to not worry too much. >> you make a very good point as far as cancel culture predominately affects those they do not have the financial resources or they do not have the connection. as a bit of a mess of cancel culture. you hear it's been canceled, celebrities, it's news. when kevin hart lost his gig because ofgo a joke he told 10 years ago. that was big news. but even with someone like kevin hart he is a fairly rich successful guy losing that gig it should not have happened but it's not going to ber the end of the world for him. but, the o people who are really the casualties of cancel culture is the guy who works for supermarket gets attacked because of a post he put on facebook and cannot find employment again. the gender critical eminen

approached the process very creatively, what... is worth at least this commercial in the style of orwell's dystopia, it's a reference to the apple advert from forty years ago, in which the cupertino corporation is already presented as evil, zombifying humanity, and the fortnite character rises to the fight and calls on everyone to unite so that 2020 does not become 1984. well, it all started with the fact that epic games began to accept payment for fortnite bypassing the app store and google play stores, for which the game with an audience of tens of millions of people, which brought colossal amounts of commission to the two platforms, was immediately removed from these platforms. epic games has not yet fully returned to the mobile platform and couldn't, but there were several large-scale antitrust investigations in different parts of the world, the results of which were mostly not in favor of google and apple. the latter was forced to abandon the once fundamental ban on installing non-branded applications and... well, true , only in the eu with a lot of reservations, but nevertheless, and

i am certain one reason george orwell's used opiate novel 1984 remain soto haunting, its depiction ofow the totalitarian regime could control its people by cracking down on what words they use. language is a power instrument of domination ofns liberation. this belief actively shape our political beliefs and behavior crosses partisan lines. but in our contemporary discourse the left is especially inclined to try shaping political thought by imposing changes on our language. trying to make latin x happen pronoun list updated to terminology jargon usher in social justice and political reform. these efforts have political change throughout linguistic manipulation. instead have unintended consequences. to address these questions, we are fortunate to have one of america's foremost languished doctor john mcwhorter. doctor mcwhorter is a professor of of columbia university. he received his phd in linguistics from stanford is the author of several books nine nasty words, english in the gutter which is freaking great and most recently woke racism. in the atlantic.c. regular weekly newsletter fo

they're like, it's like orwell, "1984."hey have a view, which just says, we want to dominate in this area, so we're going to spend a little more than others, and we will dominate. so, if you're procter & gamble, right, and you're saying, you know what, i want to make tide worldwide, you write a check to zuckerberg for $100 million. and you say, i want everyone who should have tide -- he will isolate the 1.6 billion people who are right now trying to figure out whether they should be with tide or, i don't know, whatever the hell you use, because we're tide people, and you literally -- >> tide. >> he can target them. he knows who needs -- is trying to decide. i've never seen anything like it. he has your brain. >> it's pretty remarkable, the turnaround that he has orchestrated both from a stock standpoint but also the narrative. >> now you're talking. now you're talking. let the stock come down. >> before, it was like, all right, you guys are spending a lot, but you're spending in the wrong place. now, you're spending a lot,

you have orwell's "1984," where the first rule is not to believe your eyes or your ears and to lie and this is all -- again, this is so extraordinarily clear. what are we talking about? we're talking about donald trump saying he's going to use the military or we should use the military, he says, or the national guard against people on the left who he says are crazy. >> look, joe, you know, i think there's no question that there is a league of scoundrels at the top of the republican party who are willing to lie and cheat and steal to protect cult leader donald trump. i think what continues to give me pause is that we -- that clip will run on cnn. you will deconstruct this clip here. we will talk about it. at the end of the day, some pollsters will make some phone calls in the next few days, and this country, now fully exposed to the different tendencies, will again come out 50/50. i am less concerned, just the way i look at the world, about glenn youngkin's existence and character. >> same here. >> than i am about the fact that 50% of the total public, not necessarily people watching th

what orwell gets to is that if you were listening to the great because of language at that time, you were hearing the same kind of sloppiness that we're dealing with now. not to say you can use -- you can't use fascist wrong in plint or sloppily in print. but there are all sorts of examples if you got warren harding just talking, apparently it was not a pleasant thing he just kind of yammered along. h.l. mencken talked about how he spoke the worst english he's ever known. there was a guy whose name escapes me, a candidate for mayor in new york city in the time of fiorel lo la guard yasm he's not famous now, his voice was probably never recorded in terms of spoken word. but if you see transcripts of what he said, it went from one thing to another, kind of like the way trump is sometimes transcribed now. people talked that way then too because we can't see it in print. anything in print, including the congressional record, when they're reading from it, is formal with orrwell you read that piece, and you might almost think it was 1972, and it's because it is then what it was for a long

i am certain, though, that one reason george orwell's dystopian novel "1984" remains so hunting is itsegime can control its people by cracking down on what words they use. we sense some truth in the novelist angela carter's observation that language is power, the instrument of domination and liberation. this belief that the words we use actively shape our political beliefs and behavior crosses partisan lines. but in our contemporary discourse, the left is especially inclined to try shaping political thought by imposing changes on our language. see, for example, trying to make "latinx" happened. but are these assumptions about language is power actually troop? -- true? can pronoun lists and fashionable jargon usher in political reform? do they instead have unintended consequences? to address these questions, we are fortunate to have one of america's most foremost linguists, dr. john mcwhorter. dr. mcwhorter is an associate professor of english and comp lit at columbia university. he received his phd in linguist expense stanford and is the author of several books including hope and quote
