As a rare Hexbear Orwell enjoyer, I wish these people would engage with his other work.
His essay "Politics and the English Language" in particular is really relevant to how the press is covering Palestine now (or any enemy of the empire).
"Shooting an Elephant" is also a cool look at how the imperialist mind reacts to decolonization and the idea of being irrelevant and powerless.
Of course, I'm sure they wouldn't take the right lessons from them

This is overrated by liberals trying to interpret Orwell as not being a reactionary. https://redsails.org/on-orwell/ See also: https://redsails.org/jones-on-animal-farm/
I think he has interesting things to say about language, but his social commentary is garbage.
