You are not Winston. You are not in the Party. You are a prole. The party doesn't give a shit about what you think, do or say. The only exception is if you pose a meaningful threat to the Party. In which case, the Republican-Democrat Party, the Capitalist Party of the United States of America will threaten you, disappear you, etc, etc, just like they have done to every threat in American history.

      The criticisms should be exactly the same for private sector but it has the aesthetics of public sector so that's what centrists/conservatives latch onto.

          but then they want to ban anyone that says its cool to kill slave owners. smh what happened to your frozen fruits centrists?

          if the centrists and conservatives really believed those things were "bad apples" and not frothing at the bit to do those things themselves, why do they not believe in taking any measures to curtail those actions?

              poor poor misunderstood "bad" apples. they deserve a spot in the barrel, surely. you cant just go throwing out a whole entire apple just because it has one little blemish... oh sure, the blemish is a fungal growth, but we eat mushrooms all the time! its mostly fine, is all im saying

      I can imagine someone equating proper pronoun use to Newspeak. "They're changing language so that it will have NO MEANING!"

      I agree with most of your points, but the proles aren't portrayed like you say they are. They are repeatedly emphasises to be the only hope. Their poverty, stupidity, etc, is created by the Party.

      thinking of themselves as somehow uniquely informed about the dangers of institutions. It’s “baby’s first totalitarianism.”

      Reactionaries: "wow you think I'm a terrible person, real original, you're just a special snowflake"
