OrwelliaNation is an imaginary place -- an invention of the mind -- where citizens are under constant surveillance. It is a kind of twilight zone where national policy decisions are grounded in BELIEFS that are centered on a LIE and embedded in BS -- where regular citizens actively pursue a state of mindlessness, and are encouraged in that pursuit by their misleaders.
OrwelliaNation is also the act of creating such an imaginary place -- either by the aggressive assertion of false beliefs, or by the passive acceptance of the truthfulness of such beliefs.
OrwelliaNation is inspired by the classic fictional story “1984” by George Orwell. It is nourished by many other of Orwell’s works -- and the works of fictional and nonfictional authors, researchers and commentators who have inquired into the manner in which mankind uses deception to dominate his fellow man AND his fellow man’s complicity in being dominated. OrwelliaNation broadens its empire as new means of mass deception are developed and propagated in service to the ideals of injustice, authoritarianism, despotism, and tyranny.
Such a place as OrwelliaNation is not to be confused with any real place on planet earth, and is to be recognized to be an unworthy destiny of all civil society. This website and the media contained within it are devoted to the exposition of the fundamental characteristics of OrwelliaNation in order that modern western civilization might better recognize its features and escape its destiny.
The characteristic attitude of citizens of OrwelliaNation is, not surprisingly, that of alienation. Citizens of OrwelliaNation do not experience themselves or others as vital and vibrant free human beings at home with nature. Rather they experience themselves and others as separate entities -- as instruments, as objects for the amusement and use of others, and as means to each others' ends. They experience themselves and others as things, human assets, human resources, and human capital -- and not as human beings. They experience themselves and others as commodities with exchange values set by whatever markets there may be for their labor, or their talent for amusing and entertaining others -- and not for their human potential or capacity to live freely and express their love of life.
This condition of intense alienation, which characterizes life throughout OrwelliaNation, is rooted in the subjective experience of loss of connectedness with one's human nature and potential, and the loss of relatedness to the lives of others in any way other than as an object. Symptomatic of such intense alienation is a level of anxiety that is salved mostly by self deception, self abuse, self limitation, and the continual need for reassurance through collusion with all-too-willing authoritarian forms of organization.
