quote:“If there is hope, it lies in the proles.” So said one of the 20th century’s greatest philosophers thinly disguised as a novelist, George Orwell, in his spookily prescient work, 1984. I believe my lifelong fascination with the underclass began when I pondered that declaration of independence against a futuristic form of government oppression, which has turned out not to be so futuristic.

The line "the poor must be harnessed" is pretty amazing. Squid Game villain made a similar poor = horses analogy.

I think that gang shootings returning to the Cumberland area is the NSW way of saying that nature is returning after lockdown. It was nice of them to hold off from killing each other during that time.

I'm not sure if it's less or more impressive that they managed to do it without going the more typical cspam route of threatening to violently overthrow a government or assassinate a politician of member of the press.

I thought when people said it was a pro-eugenics movie they meant if you dug deep into the subtext it was a bit problematic. But nope, movie might as well have had the narrator turn to the camera and implore us to murder the poor before their inferior genes overwhelm and infect the gene pool.

I don't think Idiocracy was an endorsement of eugenics. To me it seemed it was suggesting an inevitably, rather than a warning.

My main takeaway from Idiocracy all these years later is that I am exactly the kind of idiot it warned about, because me and my idiot friends bought a case of Brawndo branded energy drinks after it came out BC the brawndo ads were funny.

Animal Friend posted:tell me you haven't read 1984 without saying you haven't read 1984. It's also especially funny since even if you have read it some major criticisms from the left on 1984 come down to that it's basically a story about how much its dictatorship makes it suck to be middle class (Isaac Asimov of all people has a good takedown iirc) dr_rat posted:...are they really trying to "noble savages" the "underclass"?

You all misunderstand Pru's article. It's not about how she just read 1984, she read it ages back. She had to take a bus the other week. That's it. That is how the upper class reacts to taking public transport. Edit to add: I just threw up in my mouth, UAP is playing what seems like a Qantas ad, which turns into a bunch of airline workers holding up signs obscuring their faces complaining about requiring a vaccine to work. Medical Apartheid? They are bloody well free not to get the jab, but they are not free to force someone to employ them. What a world that would be. Disgusting.

Christian Porter, (the definite rapist) is a oval office. He has weaseled his way out of consequences yet again. With the government ignoring the advice of the Speaker, and blocking an inquiry into the blind trust that paid his legal fees. I hate them all so much.
