I guess it’s my own bias to Orwell being a notorious snitch and allegedly basing the character of Julia on a woman he tried to rape, but I consider his books pretty hack compared to how state oppression is actually done.
In reality the oppressive state is closer to Brave New World or Children of Men where things nominally seem to be functioning as normal as stupid trivial distractions of mass media and consumption keep us busy. You have people taking the train, hanging out in cafes and pubs while we push the visible signs of growing barbarism to the back of our minds.
