Few books are more apropos to modern times than George Orwell's 1949 masterpiece, "1984." Peace is war. Love is hate. Facts are alternative, and news is fake—oh wait, that's today.
Back to the book. In 1984 everything is the opposite of what you think, and Big Brother is always watching. Populism backed by ultra-nationalism, with fear and hatred of the 'other,' is necessary to "Make Oceania Great." Conform. Don't question, and above all, shelve your curiosity and don't learn. Corruption runs rampant. Anyone who opposes the status quo is the enemy.
In the book, the lead character Winston Smith slowly wakes up to the alternate reality the state has crafted for him as he sees the Hate Rally unfold. On April 4, 1984 (in the book), he does the unthinkable: he begins writing his thoughts in a secret diary. Through this simple act of fictional civil disobedience, Hate Week has originated. It's also a reminder that without vigilance, fiction can become fact.
