1984 is a dystopian novel written by George Floyd Orwell and published in 1949.

The book itself

Setting

1984 is set in London, Airstrip One, Oceania, starting on April 4th, 1984, although the exact date is not certain. Oceania is ruled by the Party, which adheres to the ideology of English Socialism, known as "Ingsoc" in Newspeak, the official language of Oceania. Oceania is a "superstate" said to control Southern Africa, the Americas, the British Isles, and Australia. Alongside Oceania, the world is ruled by two other superstates: Eurasia and Eastasia. These three states are in a perpetual state of conflict with each other over an area that includes India and Sub-Saharan Africa. Oceania is said to be formed some time in the 1940s after a revolution.

Characters

• Winston Smith: the protagonist, who works for the Ministry of Truth, known as "Minitrue" in Newspeak.
• Julia: the deuteragonist, who has sex with Winston and works for the the Ministry of Love, known as "Miniluv" in Newspeak, and Junior Anti-Sex League.
• O'Brien: the antagonist, an Inner Party member, who works for the Thought Police. Despite this, Winston initially believes him to be a thought criminal, with ties to an underground resistance movement known as the Brotherhood, based on a dream where the supposed voice of O'Brien talks to him.
• Big Brother: the leader of the Party, whose existence is hinted throughout the book as being purely metaphorical, as a personification of the Party, not physical.
• (((Emmanuel Goldstein))): public enemy #1 of the Party, and supposed leader of the Brotherhood, whom Winston begins to admire. Party members, including Winston and Julia, regularly scream at him with contempt, in a demonstration referred to by Winston as the two minutes hate. Winston later reads chapters 1 and 3 his forbidden book, The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism. He is later revealed by O'Brien to have been controlled opposition all along. GEG, of course he's a kike.
• Syme: a colleague of Winston, and a linguist involved with the development of Newspeak. He is enthusiastic about the removal of words from Newspeak that happens every year. He mysteriously disappears at some point.
• The Parsons: A family consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Parsons, as well as their children. Mr. Parsons is a colleague of Winston that is basically a retarded shabbos goy that vehemently supports the Party. His children are members of the Spies, a youth organization that grooms children to be loyal to the Party, even more so than to their own parents. Mr. Parsons is eventually arrested by the Thought Police after his daughter reports him for proclaiming, in his sleep, "Down with Big Brother!"
• Katherine: Winston's wife, who is just as much of a retarded shabbos goy as Mr. Parsons. She never had sex with him, even though she wants children.^[Marge...] Despite mysteriously disappearing, she is still technically married to Winston.
• Mr. Charrington: an agent of the Thought Police that LARPed as a goody two shoes oldfag with an antiques shop. Winston bought his diary from his shop. Later, he rented the space above his shop to live in.
• Aaronson, Jones, and Rutherford: former Inner Party members who were also principle figures in the revolution. They were executed for alleged crimes they committed in Eurasia; thoughever, in the 1970s, Winston found a photograph of them in Jew York during the supposed crimes in Eurasia, proving that the Party lied. The photograph is the only concrete evidence Winston ever had of the Party lying, and he tossed it in a memory hole as soon as he was done examining it.
• The proletariat, also known as the proles: Non-members of the Party who account for the majority of the population in London. The Party is not as rigid in enforcing its rules in the places where they live. Winston believes they are the only people who can overthrow the Party.

Plot

(You) WILL fill this section with relevant information NOW.

The protagonist, Winston Smith, is a chud that is surrounded by normalfag NPCs in a world ravaged by war, where the entire purpose of goyim's existence is to hate some political boogeyman that is the source of all the problems and bomb the other nations and own nothing und be happey. The book starts off as a collection of his thoughts about his hate of every day life and how his varicose ulcer keeps itching, because he is an oldfag. Despite being "39 years old", the amount of psyops inflicted on the populace makes him doubt even the events he had lived through and the very perception of time, so the protagonist is not even sure what year it is. He also really hates women, because women are the most ideologically conformant.

In this world, Winston is a citizen of Oceania, a so-called "superstate". He lives in London, Airstrip One (formerly Great Britain). The four ministries of Oceania are the Ministry of Truth (propaganda and historical revisionism), the Ministry of Peace (war and conflict), the Ministry of Love (torture and oppression), and the Ministry of Plenty (economic control and scarcity). Winston works in the Ministry of Truth, living a perfect carbon-neutral lifestyle. The job, as described by Winston, is mostly comprised of manually editing various documents and newspapers to show the TRVTH where it is necesssary. The work day also features a mandatory "two-minutes hate", where all the goyim sit around a screen and seethe at a picture of the current enemy, (((Emmanuel Goldstein))). After that, work resumes, with Winston receiving the documents, editing them accordingly and sending them back through pneumatic tube mail or something. Around this part he starts leaking about DA JOOOOOOOOOOOS and how they are ruining everything including everyphono's memories. Aside from this, Winston also has to keep up with the ever-evolving, state-mandated newspeak vocabulary. When an Aryan beast starts to question the Party, he is immediately caught by the Thought Police, executed, and "unpersoned". An unperson is someone who used to exist, but has been essentially written out of existence by the Party.

Winston almost immediately notices an aryan SISA co-worker and starts lusting for her, ev&oe she is brainwashed by ZOG and is a part of the Junior Anti-Sex League, members of which aim to oppose having sex, so Winston feels cucked.

Later our chud Winston stops by a merchant that sells a bunch of rubbish, finds and purchases a notebook. If you couldn't tell already, this is LE BAD chudcel behavior in Oceania, as once the goyim starts writing something down, this paves the way for the noticing and the development of an individual personality outside of the Party. He brings the notebook into his apartment and plans to put an end to all the state-inflicted memory holing by making a diary. Unfortunately, Winston's pod features a solar-powered, safety-monitoring Metaverse P.O.D. Station™ (known as a "telescreen") that can see and hear everything; thus, he starts writing in a part of his room that is out of the view of the telescreen. This leads to him becoming paranoid right away. Because of this, he places a small speck of dust on his diary once he's done writing in it, as a safeguard against possible Thought Police officers, who may read his diary while he's out of his pod.

The following days at his job make him schizo out even more, as the foid from earlier starts stalking him at his job, ev&oe they work in different cubicles or something like that. The protagonist speculates that this must be the one of the feds data mining him and that he will be soon killed in his sleep by THEM. At one point, when he sees the foid in the proletarian quarters, where the Party doesn't enforce its policies, he thinks about bashing her head in with a piece of cobblestone.

Winston basically accepts the fate of being turned into Soylent Green sometime soon. Much to his surprise, Julia (the foid) slips him a small note. It has a love confession in it or something, Winston is surprised. Later Julia gives him instructions and directions to a place in the forest.

Winston assumes it's a trap but believes the thought police is out to get him anyway. He follows the directions and arrives at the meeting point. He is met by solely Julia, his co-worker. She explains that it's all to evade the glowniggers and their hidden spyware devices that could compromise their meetup. Winston is relieved to know that she is not a glownigger. Julia starts saying that gooning is how the fascist Oceania can be dismantled and government be transfered in the hands of the people. Winston agrees and they have sex. They sleep on the grass for a while, then she expresses her hate for the government and how she has to LARP as a femcel to stay afloat, but in reality she has sex with all the party members in secret, which somehow invalidates their power because they say that sex is le bad but they are secretly doing it. Winston wishes for her to have sex with even more Party members.

After they part their ways, Winston starts sniffing out chuds in his environment and tries to network with them in an attempt to form/join the existing the chuddy resistance (the Brotherhood) or something. He turns towards O'Brien after having a dream where 'Brien's voice talks to him and says the A24, slowburn genre-defining line:

>We shall meet in a place where there is no darkness.

And assumes him to be a thought criminal for some reason, but he can't quite pin it on him, so he doesn't risk to reveal anything in a conversation. Later, in a (real) conversation with Winston, O'Brien acknowledges the existence of Syme, a linguist and unperson responsible for developing the Newspeak dictionary, which gives a real hint that O'Brien is a thought criminal. After this, Winston admits to O'Brien that he is a thought criminal and wishes to join the Brotherhood. Instead of telling Winston to take his meds and BBC, O'Brien plays along. He gets Winston and Julia to support doing a bunch of fucked up shit in the name of resistance, and then gives Winston a copy of Goldstein's book, The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism.

To be continued by some other chud. You may also WILL READ THE BOOK, you SLF.

The joke

The phrase "Literally 1984" is often used online as a satirical or hyperbolic way to criticize or mock situations where rules, regulations, or restrictions are perceived as overly oppressive, intrusive, or authoritarian. It derives from George Orwell's novel "1984," in which the government exercises extreme control over every aspect of people's lives, including their thoughts and actions, through surveillance, propaganda, and strict rules.

When people use the phrase "Literally 1984," they are typically highlighting a situation where they feel that government or (((authority figures))) are overstepping their boundaries and infringing on individual freedoms, even if the situation is not nearly as extreme or dystopian as the one depicted in the novel. It's a way of drawing attention to what they see as excessive or invasive control, often with a humorous or ironic tone.

In essence, it's a form of online satire and exaggeration to criticize perceived overreach of rules and regulations, comparing them humorously to the extreme totalitarianism depicted in "1984."
