Leftists enforced Orwellian notion that having the improper facial expression is politically incorrect<\/p>\n

Following the massive demonization of \u2018MAGA kid\u2019 Nick Sandmann for the crime of smirking, some of his supporters pointed out startling parallels to George Orwell\u2019s 1984<\/em>, in which citizens were persecuted for committing \u201cfacecrime\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even after video footage proved that Native American Nathan Phillips walked straight into the middle of a group of Covington High School teens and was not \u201cmobbed\u201d by them as the media had claimed, Sandmann was still crucified for smirking during the encounter.<\/p>\n

In victimizing Sandmann over a facial expression, leftists are mimicking Big Brother\u2019s treatment of dissidents who committed \u201cfacecrime\u201d in Orwell\u2019s fictional dystopian classic.<\/p>\n

Orwell writes about facecrime in Part 1, Chapter 5 of 1984<\/em>;<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself\u2014anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Another comment in relation to the book points out that a \u201cperson committed a facecrime if he had a politically incorrect expression on his face at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"null\"\/<\/p>\n

In essence, that\u2019s precisely what Sandmann was persecuted for since he merely stood his ground and adopted an expression, at no point attempting to provoke or get in Nathan Phillips\u2019 face.<\/p>\n

As we document in the video below, innumerable leftists also had Twitter meltdowns over Sandmann\u2019s expression alone, claiming that it represented bigotry and white privilege.<\/p>\n
