How Orwellian are we?

Winston cannot buy into what The Party says because he knows that they openly lie. Working in the ministry of truth, and being aware, he notices the countless times they lie to suppress the people. In my opinion, his acts are not protests. While he rebels, and wants to protest, he does nothing to influence many other people's opinions. However, he was rebelling against The Party. Similar rebellion today is frowned upon. People often look down on people who don't follow social norms or rebel by being different. The difference is that in our society, it is social pressure compared to government legal force in 1984. While rebelling isn't common or easy in our society, we are not restricted against it by penalty of death. Because of this, we not very Orwellian at all. In reality, we can do nearly anything that we want, and comparing us to 1984 society is a radical overstatement.
