No.
godstriker -No.
Well that settles it. Thank You and goodnight!
Yes we are. In fact I ordered it yesterday because i fully expect it to be pulled from certain retailers and I want my young daughter to have a copy.

It's online for free, but yes I agree it probably will be pulled.
It's hauntingly similar to what is happening now.
Bend The Knee -godstriker -No.

If you don’t see parallels with what’s going on now in ‘1984’ you’re either stupid, lying to yourself, or part of the problem.
not turning into
have turned into
100%
Absolutely.
Its a combo of 1984 and "Brave New World".
People always thought it was the right they had to fear.
But it was ALWAYS the left that wanted censorship and total control.
Because their ideas only fourish via force from the gov.
They arent compelling on their own.

there is newspeak - all of the new social justice gobbleygook language coming out of postmodernist intersectionality studies in Universities
there is erasure of sex from science and society, the very concept of male/female and the family unit is being completely destroyed
there is the destruction of statues and symbols
there is the re-writing of history with fake history (1619)
there is also wrongthink, you are only allowed to have the correct thoughts otherwise you are destroyed
yes
Not exactly.
Orwell was a socialist. He wasn't for democracy and capitalism. He was for Socialism. They powers that be pushing to break down rights are on the socialist/communist side, and that is exactly who Orwell picked up a gun for in Spain.
Antifa pretty much wrote their playbook from his "Homage to Catalonia".
If Orwell was alive he would be supporting Antifa and Bernie Sanders and AOC and the like.
Great author and I love all of his work although I believe in very different things.
I think many people haven't read a lot of what he has written and misinterpret his positions and what he stood for.
Orwell changed his mind by the time he started writing his books like 1984.
He said specifically that 1984 was a critique of Communism and how that would be applied in England.
I'm in agreement that the far left has gone off the deep end as far as their harassment, especially online, with people who do not share their progressive ideals, although the far right has a similar problem. That is mostly fragmented groups and individuals though both on the left and right. As far a legislation, however, it has been the right that has consistently opposed individual rights including privacy, consumer protections, protections against government agency monitoring and oversight, and extreme forms of freedom of speech. The rights that the left seem to oppose are interpretations of the second amendment and extreme forms of freedom of speech that are considered hate speech. The biggest problem of the left and right are their increasing willingness to court the individual groups on the far fringes of either side. Both fringes are trying to censor and harass opposition ideals.
there is the two minutes of hate. They are quite literally RHEEEing at everything from Trump getting elected, to hating of white people, capitalism, and the west.
I should finally read it.

Twenty years bro?
Really?
Come on.
Yeah but not in the way you think.
I think we're going the route of Alien.
Weyland-Yutani-Google will own the world.
Unless Elon Musk grabs an asteroid filled with platinum or something.
