The present paper begins by addressing the scenario in George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984, where violent discourse is widespread between civilians through the “Two Minutes Hate” and the “Week of Hate” events as a means of social control. Through the Foucauldian discourse analysis method, the article aims to demonstrate how such context is characteristic of totalitarian governments insofar as there is a departure of the discourses ethics as understood by Jurgen Habermas. Correlatively, the paper analyses the phenomenon of authoritarian ascension in Brazil’s national context, where the conjecture is marked by hate speech, specially disseminated through operationalized social media usage by political forces, which, in its own way, develops a similar role and power to that of the orwellian propaganda.
