There is usually wisdom in the classics. A recent revisit to Orwell’s “1984” provides material to consider in 2025. 

 The reverse logic of a key theme “Ignorance is strength” is being enacted through the imposition of Trump tariffs on so many countries and a few penguins.

The statement that “There was truth and there was untruth” has been updated with fake news and alternative facts but people are starting to realise what the truth is and it’s not always found on Trump’s Truth Social app. 

There is a final and serious warning from 1984 “We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.” It could happen, take note of the warning.

If you have the time, reread “1984”, it is still scary, and relevant.
