"She had never heard of the Brotherhood, and refused to believe in its existence. Any kind of organized revolt against the Party, which was bound to be a failure, struck her as stupid" (165)
Here Julia is talking about the resistance, she believes that it doesn't exist and she goes on to prove that she doesn't want to revolt. All she cares about is having sex and having her fun. I believe that this shows the amount of immaturity that Julia has but more importantly offers a contrast to Winston's reason to revolt.
Chapter 4:
"countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by a sub-section of the Music Department" (173)
This quote shows how controlled the proles are, they don't even have a say in what their music should be. They are brainwashed and kept steady in the most ways possible as to impede their revolt. Oceania is very aware that if the proles united they could overthrow the government, but they have them so neatly controlled that this isn't really an issue.
