Responded to his shitty Biden Crackpipe meme with the :citations-needed: episode criticizing the Biden response to this absolute shitshow of racist misinformation. His initial response was “I don’t know what reality is anymore”. When I suggested it’s clearly not listening to :live-tucker-reaction: shit. He is like “but my property rights”.

    I read it in like freshman year with zero real political knowledge. Got through the entire thing and at the end I had to turn to the smart girl in class and ask her who TF "the proles" are. It really doesn't give a shit about class - and especially if you read the book with no class consciousness its just going to make you into a "goberment bad" Ayn Rand libertarian. I remember people talking about Orwell being CIA before but good post.

      I had a fucking college history professor make the class read 1984 for an upper-level class. Embarrassing.

      EDIT: actually that fucker made us read two Orwell books (I forget the other one), and specifically peddled "red fascist" bullshit on the basis of an Orwell quote that asserted it.
