      When you choose to leave this world while mainlining acid like Huxley then you can try to slander my boy.

        Huxley was absolutely right and 1984 is the lesser of the great dystopian novels

        I don't even think 1984 is very lib, but both of those rank waaaaaay up there in the pantheon of literature misinterpretated by libs which they can't stop circlejerking about

          1984 isn't pro-anything. It's just a very long, very dull, barely disguised anti-Stalin rant.

            You're too deep. It's a great book against a surveillance state for what it's worth.

              It really, really is not a "great book" by any metric. It absolutely drips with Orwell's bitterness over his experiences in Catalonia. It has no value of its own whatsoever, it is only interesting as an insight into the depth of Orwell's hatred for communists.

                It's a great book against a surveillance state. C'mon man, I know Orwells's a bit of a shit to put it lightly but that doesn't mean he didn't write a great book about how surveillance state bad actually that's digestable by the common man

            Go ask a lib about bush and tell me he wasn't right about the memory hole.

              No one has to rewrite historical documents or throw things in the memory hole because people literally do not care. They believe whatever they were most recently told to believe. All the evidence that Bush sucked massive ass is still out there, libs just don't care. It didn't go anywhere.
