Editing 1984 (section)

== Warhammer 40k's grimdark elements inspired from 1984 ==
[[File:1984.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|He is watching you, and waiting for you to do something heretical.]]  
* '''The Big Brother''': Big Brother is the omnipotent figurehead created by the ruling Party for those poor bastards to worship (while Big Brother may or may not exist in 1984, the God-Emperor of the Imperium in 40k does exist), and like with real-world religious fundamentalists sex is even considered evil. However, despite the totalitarian fanaticism, the society that inspired 1984 (the Soviet Union) was militantly atheistic regularly partaking in [[Imperial Truth|the execution of clergymen, destroying places of worship and publishing defamatory anti-religious propaganda]] while Oceania is implied to prohibit practicing religion.  The veneration of certain figures being a Cult of Personality, and even then it was only for Party members; most of Russia's proles remained Eastern Orthodox but only kept it to themselves for fear of [[Blam]] by the government or government loyalists (again, North Korea under the Kim Dynasty is a better analogy).   

* '''Constant Surveillance''': In 1984, two-way televisions have been invented called "telescreens". They only play shitty government propaganda networks because they were created to stalk you and [[lulz|troll]] you every day and you cannot turn them off. If you somehow manage to turn one off (either the propaganda or the recording device), you will be captured by the thought police and have your ass beaten. There are other surveillance devices such as helicopters (for tall apartment buildings), thought police, and even your own children (whom were part of the party's child spies program that keeps an eye on their parents, and they would turn on their parents without a second thought just so they would be labelled as a hero by the public if they do so, the shitty brat). The only people who are free from this nightmare are the underclass Proles, and that's because they're so dumb the Party considers them animals who do not give a fuck about politics, doing nothing but work, drink and wank to porn. Yes, you yourself are one such filthy dumbass Prole, using this Telescreen for hentai instead of [[/tg/ gets shit done|actually doing something]]. In Warhammer 40k, there are the secret police of the Inquisition which have psykers reading people's minds everyday, and Adeptus Arbites who serve [[derp|fair justice]] to common proletarians everyday. Also noted that in the Age of Apostasy, Goge Vandire had [[Servo-skull|Cherubim]] installed everywhere to act as his own telescreens for whatever the fuck he had his minds on.
**It should be noted that in both 1984 and 40k, the Panopticon both have flaws. You won't get nabbed the first time you do something which The Party does not like, they still have to organize sting operations. Be careful and you can (for a time at least) dodge the Thought Police. In 40k there are even more holes in the net for the upper classes. Nobles can a lot more easily get away with things. More insidious than the CCTV cameras or Pskyers is the uncertainty, in which saying the wrong thing at the wrong time out of context can get you nabbed and sent to the gulag if you're lucky.

* '''In The Grim Darkness Of The Far Future There Is only War''': In 1984, eternal war is the best way for Oceania (which is composed of the Americas, the British Isles (called "Airstrip One" in the novel), Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, and southern Africa below the River Congo... [[Skub|according to Oceania]]) to have their lonely [[Ork|excuse for fun]]; they wage unnecessary wars with <s>friendly</s> countries that are almost exactly the same as they are, using the lands of unaligned countries as the battlefield, the inhabitants of those areas being forced to live in constant slavery under whichever power controls them at that time.  All of this is so they can justify their brutal totalitarian rule, which is in place to preserve the [[Games Workshop|status quo]].  This involves spending most of their money on building more [[Stormraven|flying metal boxes]] or floating fortress, a massive waste of force labors that locks up people to build useless cargo ships. The party never giving benefits to their own people who are cramped into [[Hive|1000 meters-high city prisons for your grandmother to live in]]. Oceania's neighbors (assuming they even exist) are [[Orks|Eurasia(Europe, Soviet Union and Middle-East)]] and [[Eldar|Eastasia(all of Northern India and East Asia except for Russia)]], who are just as much of a shithole like Oceania and they are constantly changing sides because they know the war is mutually beneficial. Once they are done [[Promotions|buttsecks]] with each others for resources, they would backstab their allies and making their old enemy a new ally. Again, they three countries (assuming they are three separate countries, and not just a world-spanning Oceania faking a war with itself, or even just a tiny rogue state spewing all this BS) let their ex-ally backstab them on purpose, just to make sure the war never ends, just to make sure the benefits are always funneling into the national treasury.
 
* '''The Ministry of (love, truth, peace, plenty)''': In 1984, the Oceania had their own departments of powers to control their filthy peasants. Despite their organization have names like truth and love, it is actually the opposite. '''The Ministry of Truth''' is basically [[Administratum]], where all the history records and documents were "true" and they are certainly not destroyed or rewritten to provide false propaganda. You dispute this? Ha! Where's your proof? Oh please, memories are faulty things. '''The Ministry of Love''' is where all the heretics are cared with "love" and the staff members will definitely not treat them with unorthodox methods of torture or mind rape, or both. '''The Ministry of Peace''' is the army because only true peace can be found through oppression with [[Autogun|bullets]], [[Chainsword|cold steel]] and [[Flamer|fire]]. An act of war is actually an act of peace, and totally not an excuse to create a "common enemy" scenario or keep the populace in line with fear! '''The Ministry of Plenty''' is the food distribution to provide "plenty" for all and certainly not feed the upper class while keeping everyone else in a famine; also, the chocolate rations have been increased to 10 grams - they have never been 15 grams and were certainly not ''decreased'' to 10 grams. Noted how this 4 ministries is comparable to the four chaos gods. [[Tzeentch]] is truth (deceive people with lies), [[Khorne]] is peace (eternal war), [[Slaanesh]] is love (sadistic fun) and [[Nurgle]] is plenty (health through illness and famine)
