I'm now accepting applications for the position of Futuristic Zeppelin Pirate. Hiring preference will be given to applicants with previous experience in the aviation and swashbuckling industries.

If they put all of the US under constant surveillance, pretty soon we'll all have jobs as intelligence analysts. And once we're all part of Big Brother, who will Big Brother watch? That's what I want to know.
That's where the Inner and Outer Party distinction comes in, and things like "some more equal than others."

Umm...there seem to be plenty of freedom haters in the US already. Most fall under the citizen catagory as far as I can tell.
Yes, we call them the "Religious Right".

The extreme leftists come to mind as well.;)

Yes, there are lots of far-left types in the USA.

Will the dystopian zeppelins be targeting anyone who uses the phrase "freedom hater" without irony? Because I think I could get right behind that idea.

Oh, can it. In case you haven't noticed, the USA is somewhat of the proverbial melting pot. We may not have nearly as many far-left people as far-right people, but we still have our share. The difference is that the far-right people tend to be more united than the far-left people (since "far-left" is generally just a bundle of different views such as various types of socialism, communism, and - if you want to classify it as such - anarchy).
Of course, if anarchists are far-left, that would make SlyFoxx's comment someone ironic.

Nice work, telling me to shut up, then making the exact same point I just made.
I do wonder if you're reading different versions of my posts sometimes.
