Imagine growing up in a world where all you feel is fear and hate, where you have no choice but to live in isolated community and be forced to believe in things you would not normally believe in. Imagine living in a community where they start teaching at an early age to hate something by force. For example, in the book 1984 they are forced to grow up believing in what the party wants them to believe in an obeying the rules the isolated community has for the people, just like it has/is occurring and will occur throughout the world for as long as human exist.

By controlling minds (torture, doublethink, propaganda) and preventing anyone from being able to disprove it(change history, destroy evidence of any other possibility, control their minds.)” “The party is able to mold consensus and thus reality to their liking.” says O’brien.
As humans, we crave a connection with other people through friendship, romantic relationships, or other types of relationship but living in a controlling government like in the novel 1984 all you were able to feel were fear and hate. Although some people might’ve felt differently to what the government expected, living in an isolated community may blind the majority of the people by its power. I, personally would not be able to live in a society based on hate and control. Ive read about similar societies but have never been faced with having to live in a place like that. Everybody should live with basic rights. Societies should not go for power and control but for freedom and love. Hate definitely can last for a very long period of time in a society, especially in an isolated community where it’s separated from others. “Power is tearing human minds apart and putting them back together in new shapes of your own choosing,” says O’Brien, which is how hate successfully took over
