Christian persecution in Big Brother’s Orwellian-Dystopian world in 1984, happening today
“Orwellian” is a condition where a country or society seems a utopia but is actually dystopian. It may refer to a government that promotes righteousness, but in reality, aims to destroy freedom.
In an Orwellian society, individuals are under the draconian rule of a “Big Brother.” They use propaganda and create situations whose intent is to brainwash the people into an atheistic ideology. A demagogue rules it.
The book 1984 in present day
The phrase stemmed from the book Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984), published in 1949. It’s a dystopian novel in the future, written by English author George Orwell.
The fiction is about the repressive government of Oceania. The book 1984 depicts a perpetual war, mass surveillance, and propaganda.
Atheism and Orwellian
Critical in an Orwellian society is to brainwash its people into a unified belief system. In George Orwell’s other books, striking similarities are evident with the ideologies of Marxism, rooted in atheism.
“Big Brother” China
Big Brother is a hero, the hope of the masses, and the totalitarian state’s supreme ruler. Similarly, President Xi Jinping is hailed as China’s new hero.
In 2018, his term limits as President were removed. He is practically China’s “new emperor,” however caught in the Coronavirus conspiracy.
China, by 2049 would have completed its “One Belt and Road” (OBOR) project. This means that they can use economic domination.
Only the Philippine President seems to have kowtowed to the emperor a thousand years; elsewhere, China is seen as a “big brother” threat.
CCTV, AI, and Algorithm
With an estimated 176 million public and private surveillance cameras, there is no escape from authorities. Also, social media is under its control.
As a result, Christian persecution since 2018 has increased dramatically. The government also wants Chinese Christians to replace images of Jesus with photos of the communist President.

Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft are creating an Orwellian society
“Big Brother Tech” USA
1984’s “Big Brother” could be “Big Brother Five” (Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft) in the United States. In 2019, Matthew Peterson of Claremont Institute exposed disturbing policies of “Big Tech,” which is up and arms against conservative views. [PCM]
Brent Bozell of Media Research Center claims Big Tech is creating an Orwellian society. “Google, in particular, is engaged in political censorship and bias,” according to conservative Senator Ted Cruz in 2019.
Conservatives silenced
In 2021, “Big Brother Tech” Amazon, Apple, Twitter, Google silenced conservative voices. A rising conservative platform Parler was taken down. After conservative President Trump ended his term, the silicon valley companies deactivated thousands of social media accounts. [Business Insider]
Trump Derangement Syndrome
Still, a sitting President days before his term ended, Twitter removed Trump’s account. He violated Twitter’s policy with his electoral fraud tweets. Hence, rumors of a Trump Network circulated. Trump’s Derangement Syndrome has infected Big Tech.
Germany’s Merkel, Brazil’s Bolsonaro, France’s Le Maire, Australia PM McCormack, Mexico’s Obrador, and European Union’s Beaune all spoke against the cancel culture, reported NY Post.
After the contentious US election in 2020, Big Brother Tech suspended thousands of conservative social media accounts that follow prominent conservative figures and support Trumpism. [DailyMail]
Double standard
In 2021, Facebook-controlled Instagram suspended Shana Chappell’s account because she was vocal about holding President Biden responsible for her son’s death in the Afghanistan pull-out.
Similarly, Twitter suspended the account of Afghanistan’s elected President… and have allowed the Taliban to keep their accounts.”
Ultimately, it’s Christian persecution
In the USA, “It feels like the only people being allowed to speak up on campus are the violent group of fascist thugs,” says MAGA singer Joy Villa. Conservatives and Christians are being silenced by “Big Brother Tech,” claims Dailywire.
What can Christians do?
The Bible warns of a one-world government that controls everything. No one can do anything without the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:17). Only when Jesus returns can we have righteousness in the government.
