Orwell Today: Are We Living in a Modern-Day 1984?

We're living in a very, very orwellian world right now, and it's kind of frightening sometimes because it comes right out of the book.
Ever wondered if our world is starting to resemble George Orwell's dystopian vision in '1984'? In this episode of 'The Blum Show', host Michael Blum dives into this provocative question. Blum passionately argues that today's society mirrors Orwell's world, where political correctness and diversity overshadow freedom of speech and thought. This episode isn't for the faint-hearted, as it boldly tackles hot-button issues like transgenderism, the Ku Klux Klan, and the suppression of free speech on college campuses.
Blum suggests there's an ongoing internal battle against the values that once defined America, asserting that extreme anti-American groups are being given too much leeway by the establishment. He also delves into government corruption, making it clear that his critique extends beyond any single administration. If you're ready to question the status quo and explore controversial topics with an open mind, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in to 'Orwell Today' and decide for yourself if 2017 really is a modern-day version of 1984.
