quote:

Orwell was unable to conceive of computers or robots, or he would have
placed everyone under non-human surveillance. Our own computers to some
extent do this in the IRS, in credit files, and so on, but that does not
take us towards 1984, except in fevered imaginations. Computers and tyranny
do not necessarily go hand in hand. Tyrannies have worked very well without
computers (consider the Nazis) and the most computerised nations in today's
world are also the least tyrannical.

toward the end of his life i think he was developing paranoid insanity

1984 makes more sense this way since it is his mind breaking with him ending up in the equivalent of a psych ward where he loves big brother

Personally, I think it's problematic that a sitting Senator has a racial slur for a last name.



kinda wish two of my granddads (engineers and academics, probably not enthused about the 5 year plan) weren't culled during the great purge :sadpeanut:

this is pretty much just because orwell was one of the only socialist political writers we actually read in middle/high school

this is because the deep state is secretly run by the fourth international

yeah being the only leftist of note read in primary school, the political context of whose writing may actually come up (almost invariably negatively, though I was lucky to have a tankie substitute teacher in middle school the days we did Animal Farm), it makes sense that every soft-headed self-described "leftist" who hasn't read a book since they stopped having reading assignments identifies as anarchist or anarcho-blah blah blah

Its chill that the dipshit in the picture doesnt realize that the same 2 or 3 companies make all the brands he sees as Free Market Competition. You ever think it's weird the labels, size, and prices are all identical except for the marketing? Nah it's just because of Efficiencies

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
