I had absolutely no idea what occult quacks chiropractors were for an embarrassingly long time. I thought it was just another medical specialization, like dermatology. No one told me otherwise and it was only a few years ago that I learned that orthopedic specialists and neurologists practiced something very different than the quackery that still legally allowed to blend in as if it were an actual medical specialization, to make suckers like me fail to notice the difference at a glance. I'm glad I never went to see one before I knew better. :the-more-you-know:
Orwell wasn't even really a class traitor. His family was somewhat upper-middle class for the time (his father was a government officer doing opium trade stuff in India), and he even went to Eton (on scholarship, because his family's not rich rich, I guess). And then he went and became a colonial cop in Burma.
If anything, he's just a fed and a larper (famously, Orwell purposefully lived in working class areas in London and Paris, dressed like a tramp).
