In a world increasingly defined by ideological conformity and political extremism, I find my compass in the timeless works of Orwell, Bradbury, Rand, and others who warned us about the dangers of groupthink and authoritarian control. From surviving the chaos of real riots to watching speech censored by Big Tech, my writing and podcasting explore truth beyond tribalism. I don’t pick sides—I pick reality.
In this post, Ryan “Dickie” Thompson breaks down a chilling quote from George Orwell’s 1984 and connects it to today’s war on truth. When memory fails and records are falsified, those in power control reality itself. From state propaganda to Big Tech censorship, the battle for truth is alive and real. This is a must-read for anyone who values liberty, historical memory, and resisting centralized control.
