I want to read Nineteen Eighty Four at some point, but due to a depressive episode I'm currently struggling to read long form. I've seen a staged production of it (apparently quite a faithful adaptation), so my opinion is going to be based on that, and as a result paraphrasing of the concepts might appear. I'm also politically inconsistent, so that might show in the extremely pretentious 'analysis' (which is likely off Base) and is probably going to turn in to copypasta or end up on /r/Iamverysmart

I think one of the more obvious scenes I saw that was quite disturbing, especially to a my sensibilities was 'The daily hate', particularly with how true to life I found it.

I also don't remember what the bloody hell was said

Obviously government mandated hate is not so much of an issue anymore (prejudice and discrimination is another matter entirely), but there is a culture which encourages that. I only know how many (white, British) people in my town genuinely hate 'fucking pakis', foreign people in general,and I've had a degree of hate thrown at me for being bisexual, which can (and has) lead to actual, physical violence. I personally feel that fostering a culture of unlimited free speech is not too dissimilar from the Daily hate, and the violent beheviour it encourages, which I guess ties in to the themes against violence power can cause, to grossly oversimplify.

This comes with the caveat that hate speech is not protected in the UK, admittedly leading to some extremely stupid cases, but I think it's generally beneficial.

Is there any record (other than the Daily Hate) of Orwell's views on hate speech? It's more than just a dissenting idea and (anecdotally) has led to unecessary violence (as opposed to a revolution, which iirc, some socialists would say is justified).
