leave it a mystery if you are a left winger or a right winger or even a trot yourself.
Orwell was objectively trash read this where Issac Asimov destroys him
King shit
I would just complain that they don’t bother with proper sex ed nor do they give content warnings before teaching 1984, so they always end up exposing teens to rape and misogyny out of nowhere. I need to spread the “Fahrenheit 451 is the superior dystopic book” agenda
Edit: oh, just a new comment by gay regarding the sex pest behaviour Orwell exhibited by writing 1984. Normal stuff folks, keep moving
F451 is good. I personally love Brave New World and it relates to modern society wayyyyyyy more that 1984. Huxley is the King of Dystopian SciFi and also on his deathbed he asked to wife to give him acid so he could die while tripping balls. Absolute legend.
I recently read Brave New World, so much better
his deathbed he asked to wife to give him acid so he could die while tripping balls
Friendship ended with Fahrenheit 451, now Brave New World is my best friend
The only good part about 1984 is Goldstein explaining how every war machine made is food out of the mouths of the poor. If people should get anything out of that book, it is becoming rabidly anti-war/military
As much as I hate 1984, I still believe the appendix is the only good part of the book. I guess “language is kind of an effective control tool” is a basic take, but when I read it in high school I was fascinated by how good those few pages were at building the 1984 world.
In my defense, I had never read something like that before (“oh, this is fiction pretending to be non-fiction… is that legal??!1!”) because I was 15 (also I was so creeped out by Winston, the story is better without him)
