sparkling authoritarianism: the protected designation of oppression

A screenshot of a Twitter/X post by a verified account making a joke that parodies the 'it's only technically champagne if it's from Champagne' geographical designation rule. The post applies this logic absurdly to authoritarianism and Orwellian dystopia, suggesting that only surveillance states from the Orwell region of England count as 'technically Orwellian.' The setup mimics the protected designation of origin (PDO) system for wines and products.
