I think that Orwell was spot on in some of his warnings. Most of the over exaggerated predictions can be dulled out into what we have as distractions in modern time. One case is when the telescreens spewed propaganda of Goldstein, and Winston was feeling hate towards him, even after he knew Goldstein was a scapegoat. I believe that this could be linked towards leaders fear mongering in today. Give people something to rally against, and they are easier to manipulate. What other examples have you found for this?
