In a world where we are being constantly watched, any word, whisper or thought can get you ‘vaporized’. You are never alone for the eyes and ears of big brother are constantly watching over you. Some people may say they have a guardian angel watching over them but here in Oceania, big brother is no Guardian angel.
You may wonder, how do people eat and survive in a totalitarian? Well you see, the people
of Oceania survive on food rations provided by the government although, the government talks about how abundant the rations are on the news, though the people barley get any food. Food is replaced with alternatives such as; ‘victory gin’, ‘victory coffee’ and Saccharine tablets (sugar).
As the years go by, people forget about the food they had before the revolution, the taste of real coffee or real sugar. It’s like they lost their taste buds from eating all this junk.
The government is selfish and cruel, the ‘inner party’ members get to have ‘real’ food like; real coffee, real gin, real sugar etc. the inner party consist of ‘six million members’ so that’s around ‘2%’ of the population of Oceania, only 2% of a country gets to have real proper food while rest live in poverty; there are people starving to death! People who haven’t eaten for 30 plus hours! People who do anything to get a few bread crumbs in their mouth! The politicians in Oceania are corrupt and evil, they don’t care about anyone but themselves. They preach:
“WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY AND IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH”
There are ways to get ‘real’ food, through the black market. In totalitarian government countries, black markets are very common, before the revolution you would think a black market was used to sell weapons and drugs but now it’s the only way to get proper food that’s not cooked in a laboratory. In these black markets you would get real coffee or real alcohol and many more food items but If you are caught selling/ buying illegal goods on the black market you will be arrested and ‘vaporized’.
The health care in Oceania is inoperative, it doesn’t exist. The only people who get treatment are the inner party because their lives matter more, once you die you won’t be remembered, at first people will know that you’re missing but they wouldn’t dare to question your disappearance because they will get arrested by the thought police and there is a high chance that they will get executed.
The people of Oceania are nothing but slaves for the government but remember “FREEDOM IS SLAVERY”, the lives they live are unimaginable, their children are taken away from them and are taught to turn against them.
The Government spends most of their money on war weapons than on actual food, but remember “WAR IS PEACE”, there are people dying from lack of health care and food but they don’t care because “IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH”.
The people of Oceania have had their freedom stripped off them ‘the party owns everything’ the party owns you. when you step foot into Oceania, the party owns your thoughts, your memories, the life you lived before the revolution is far gone. The ones you loved are no more, the feeling of love will be taken away from you. One single ‘wrong’ thought can you get you ‘vaporized’, as time goes by in Oceania your brain decays, you won’t have any thoughts, your main focus will only be on work and on food. Emotionally you are brain dead, the little source of humanity that you were clinging on to in the beginning is gone.
This is the life of the people in Oceania, I may not be alive once I publish this article but at least I'd know the last thing I did was expose the criminals the people of Oceania call a government.
