Orwellian

This is Great Britain summed up in a single word, currently competing with the likes of North Korea. In Britain there are increasingly pathetic authoritarian laws being introduced to rid the country of expressive freedom.

Freedom of speech, not that complete freedom of speech ever existed here, is now almost completely gone.

You'll be afraid to speak up about the current invasion of foreigners, you'll be afraid to say certain words, you'll be under surveillance, you'll be under control, you'll be fearful of arrest.
Edward from the UK: I was getting verbally abused and threatened online today. I hit them with a torrent of offensive words in return, and like a week later, the police turned up at my house and arrested me for hurting somebody's feelings with word bullets!

Edward's friend, Rob from the USA: Man.. You can get arrested for such petty shit today, whatever happened to sticks and stones? Also, why were you arrested and treated like a criminal when the others started it and got away with it? They even threatened you and got away with that too? That's bullshit beyond logic.

Edward from the UK: People have been arrested for far less mate. It's a law called Malicious Communications. Everything in the UK is ass-backwards. That's why Boris Johnson was allowed to party it up with his mates during lockdown with police on guard. Then a pensioner was sentenced for selling mince pies during the pandemic. Britain is truly broken beyond belief. A disgustingly oppressive country, it's do as I say, not as I do.

Edward's friend, Rob from the USA: Holy shit dude, that's Orwellian alright! If I lived there I'd be out like a bullet!

Orwellian Irony

Orwellian irony is irony that is explicitly political in nature.

Orwellian irony shows the poverty of the philosophy and history undergirding what some people use as the justifying narrative for their political commitment and it can also be used to categorize people's arguments for or against freedom, liberty, etc. that are disconnected from history, legality, etc.

Orwellian irony is often situational.

Examples include:

A person unaware that the foundations of their self-chosen political identity are based on a misunderstanding of historical events refusing to investigate counter-claims made in an online debate.

A person at a protest claiming to be against government encroachment of rights that then runs away when police start violating their counter-protestors constitutional rights rather than helping.

When an AnCap tries to delegitimize a Socialist's criticisms of the economy by saying: "Well you wrote that on a smartphone, which was made by capitalism" this is an example of Orwellian irony because Leonid Kupriyanovich, a Soviet, invented much of the technology prior to the U.S., but also as much of the technology developed to make this was done by Federally funded research grants.
That a propaganda outlet, TeleSUR, which is managed by a state that has exploited a crisis to silence free press outlets like El Nacional, decided to use a private media outlet, Jacobin, to obfuscate the truth surrounding their brief unpublishing on Facebook and to call for increased government regulation is one of the most perfect examples of Orwellian irony ever.
