Reply #9: We are still living perpetual 9-11. there is no yesterday and no tomorrow. [View All]

Time under Fascism is reckoned only in plots against Dear Leader and the Homeland thwarted--not in any sequence of days or years. The threat will never pass, the war will never end. And yet Dear Leader and the Homeland are always more and more heroic and successful. Our people's enemies are crushingly huge and their plots are omnipresent and more devious than we can imagine, and yet they have no chance. Fascism is composed of paradoxes.

There were no diaries or journals in Oceania. They weren't allowed to be kept nor were they made for sale. The moment Winston began to keep a journal to record his passing days in for someone else to study later as an object of history, his days began to be numbered, as he perfectly well knew.

There is no tomorrow and no yesterday, and there is no today--there is only 9-11.
