It's one of the greatest books ever written. I don't care why people are reading it as long as they are reading it.

I'd guess that the (((Education System))) is gonna make kids in high school read this book again and teach them about how Orwell was talking about Trump or some shit.

Irony was already removed from their dictionary

Oh shit, oh just bought it on Jordan Peterson's recommendation

They meant that the book "1984" has recently hit the bestseller book list once again.

Can't you fucking read?

>order 1984
>land redundantly on a STASI watchlist

Yeah, perhaps they'll realize that Hillary's America would have literally been a run by Big Brother Soros and his globalist cunts

They will try

Then perhaps there'll be marginally fewer on either the left or the right that refer to it without having fucking read it like most seem to do.

it's the go-to book for libshits to take a picture of themselves "reading"

>dude i dont like this guy that means it's 1984 xD

Ha haha fake news. I just checked the best seller list.

Amazing how those fucking leftards have their heads so deep into their asses that they can't see the irony of it all. 1984 is the detailled description of what's currently happening in european socialist states. Yet they think it applies to Trump even though he is already dishing out freedoms left and right? Fucking hell, leftists truly need to be exterminated.

Hopefully it'll make people realize the value of the first and second amendment and how politicians and the media can manipulate public opinion. But it'll probably end up being "LMAO Drumpf is literally big brother XDDDD"

It is 33 years since 1984. The occultists in charge love that number. We are now living in a mixture of 1984, Brave New World, and They Live. The Trumps are the first family of the New World Order.

I'm more of a Brave New World / Farenheit kinda guy.

I couldn't get into 1984 for some reason.

This is good though. Maybe people will realze the irony. I mean hey, the more you read the more you learn. It could happen.

Doubt it though.

you did this

Animal Farm hits the nail on the head.

Apparently all those liberals who have been referencing it since the start of the election decided to actually read it.

>dude it's 1984 all over agian

George Orwell is great; but lefties should really read 'Animal Farm' instead.

they're trying to goad someone into attempting to do an assassination with trump, as usual. it's all these types are really trying to accomplish atm

Maybe they'll wake up and see that that is what they've been pushing for.

would you rather be in the outer party or be a prole, Sup Forums

How you want your book cover, senpai?
Just Freemason my shit up!

Pic is the original cover art.

I thought taylor swift wrote 1984

What they mean is that they didn't actually read the book, much less consider the times and political mileaux during the period of it's publication.

Even if they did read it, they are convinced it was some sort of Trump prophecy.

tl;dr: Libtards once again expressing both a complete lack of self-awareness and an embarrassing amount of literature misinterpretation.

It'ld be funnier if it wasn't so sad.

It means Trump protesters didnt even read fucking 1984 yet they called him authoritarian for a year.

it means those fucking dummies are reading the wrong books, as usual

To be fair, it's been quite a mix of 84, brave new world and animal farm.

>CNN
WHEN WHEN THEY EVER SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DIE!

in the process, I hope the readers notice modern-day red pills such as diverse=non-white and equality=special priviledge for some.

It's a good book but a meme to reference it. Most people I asked that read it couldn't even tell me the main character's name.. same shit goes with A tale of two cities, everyone just fucking says they read it but can't recite a single part.

>I'd guess that the (((Education System))) is gonna make kids in high school read this book again and teach them about how Orwell was talking about Trump or some shit.

This.
German media is also covering the popularity of the book now and they sell it like that: with "right-wing populists" who don't care about FACTS (like how great millions of Syrians are, etc.) but instead lying etc. etc.

As a science-fiction patrician it always amuses me how communism gave rise to Orwellian dystopias with completely authoritarian and privacy invading dictatorships.

Everyone is quick to jump to comparisons to it.

NOONE however realises that were much closer to Aldous Huxley's vision of the future in "Brave New World". Distraction and entertainment > authoritarian dictatorship.

Communism won exactly BECAUSE humans prefer to be wilfully ignorant, aslong as they get their soma.

>communism ded
>better judge it objectively to learn our lessons
>I know let's buy a fantasy book that intends to scare us about how eeeeviiiil it is
>let's listen to all those bitter eastern Europeans so determined to play the cool victim

Fucking people

I hope communism does feel bad so you can starve to death.

>brave new world
>communism

In 1985, social critic named Neal Postman, in the introduction to his book “Amusing Ourselves to Death,” compared two famous dystopian visions: “1984” by George Orwell and “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley. He noted that though many people thought their visions similar, Huxley and Orwell had very different theories about how people would lose their freedoms.

Orwell thought it would be Big Brother—the all-watching, all-powerful state. Now certainly, in the age of the NSA and TSA, it sounds like he may have been on to something.

But Postman thought Huxley was the one who got it right. Here’s how he put it:

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, because there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture... As Huxley remarked in“Brave New World Revisited,” the civil libertarians and rationalists ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions."

In “1984,” people are controlled by inflicting pain. In “Brave New World,” they were controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared what we love will ruin us.

Sensationalism. Shame on CNN.

Animal farm is absolutely amazing, but I fear it goes over anyone's head who hasn't lived in or close to communism.

I tried explaining to a friend Boxer the Horse was the pure communist, what communism was intended to be, the people who actually made it survive as long as it did. All I got were blank looks.

Thing is, my grandma was a communist. A true believer. She worked her ass off, believed in the ideology, never rose to be the elite she despised. When she passed we found out she had been skipping lunch for about a year to save up for her yearly fees in the communist party.

Some people dont understand how the crushing power of the hounds and sheep are what drives it and the analogy it makes - with the sheep being just as important.

And finally some people don't understand just how close to the communist party the pigs were depicted. As in, every action they did, everything, was something the actual communist parties in every country did at some point - it was just human nature. It repeated itself.

Anyway, animal farm is just a clever little book, but I think it's wasted on westerners.

Trump is bad goyim

Yeah, they were both right.
Big brother is government etc of course, but also groups on behalf of billionaires, feminists, blm, democracy spring and all that.
So there's Orwell.

Huxley comes in with entertainment and being blinded by technology (often reinforcing control from 'big brother'.

Animal farm enters into it with identity politics and the latest waves of 'dude communism lmao'

It's a world where all three have come to pass.

>NOONE however realises that were much closer to Aldous Huxley's vision of the future in "Brave New World". Distraction and entertainment > authoritarian dictatorship.

I have always believed reality had become Huxleyian as opposed to Orwellian. And I'm sure many others have realized it as well, but I think 1984 is just a much more popular book.

>I couldn't get into 1984 for some reason.

Here is the movie version:

Double plus good, Comrade!

It means hipsters have no idea what the fuck they talking about.

If you want to see a real 1984, come to the UK. We got cameras everywhere (we got half the CCTV in the world on this tiny island) and some of them can even issue you orders now.

>Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
Literally the social media culture of today
> civil libertarians and rationalists ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions."
Yep, one minute it's "Oh no! Look what happened in Orlando!" Then the next it's sharing some Buzzfeed video about kitchen science. Then the moment after that it's liking some "100" meme on their nigger friend's profile.
>Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared what we love will ruin us.
You said it. The "Brave Jew World" relies on narcissism, nihilism, feminism, Marxism, and hedonism all working together to create the pro-establishment "Antifa", "BLM", and "Love Trumps Hate" culture of today's nu-males who were yesterday's 14 year old emo kids, femnazi sjws who were yesterday's camwhores and gossip girls, bronies who were yesterday's faggy shojo lovers and weeabo cucks with waifus, and trans-everything's that were always mentally ill

Liberals are buying the book acting like Orwell was predicting the rise of of trump. They also keep quoting how the party rejected facts and twisted truth, and acting like that applies to the right. Conway's "alternative facts" quote kind of set it off.

We need to meme animal house and brave new world to the number one spot.

I remember reading BNW in high school; my teacher was an old man and he was the only English teacher that made their class read it. He didn't even make us write an essay or answer questions for it. He probably saw the parallels between it and modern society.

How anyone can read 1984 and still remain a leftist baffles me

It's a best seller because liberals are looking for tips on what they did wrong to lose their nanny state

We can only hope this is because people are opening their eyes to Obama's spying and the averted risk of Hillary ramping it up. But we all know educators will use this to teach children that Trump is a dictator.

5 Star post

>they buy it
>read 1 page
>look at twitter
>read another half page
>look at twitter again
>never read it again

The final redpill is realizing that the direction of the world isn't some unholy mix between Brave New World and 1984.

Instead, it is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

>tinfoil is back in fashion
So were the Bush's, twice.

1984 is incredibly overrated. It is not even an enjoyable read. If you genuinely think it deserves the praise it has received over all those years you are more than likely mentally handicapped.

It's kind of fucked how each side thinks the other is like 1984.

Hopefully they will actually read it

I can't wait for all these fucking idiots to realize that they have to read a bunch of pages about two literal retards fucking, and literally dozens of pages of the most boring writing ever published. If you've read the book you know exactly what fucking part I'm talking about.

>If you genuinely think it deserves the praise it has received over all those years you are more than likely mentally handicapped.
Typical leftist, immediately pathologizing any opinion different from your own.

>t. pic related

Fahrenheit 451 is the worst book of the three.

How could you like that steaming pile of shit, let alone compare it to BNW?

people getting red pilled on socialist and communism thanks to Trump

its great, but brave new world is way more thought provoking and realistic representation of the future in the west.

>Americans have literally been watching the broadcast of Two Minutes Hate for Vladimir Putin
>but they think Trump will be their Big Brother.

1984 is gay

Everything old is new again. Has anyone else been getting a real Bush era vibe these days from the liberals? It's only recently that I've started hearing the phrase "speaking truth to power" again.

It's like you've never even read the book

Kind of ironic, maybe they will get redpilled.
The left does not believe in freedom of speech,expression or ideas anymore. They have had political discourse on lock down through political correctness. they have used constant propaganda & incontrinaiton of the youth to create a spiral of silence in the west. all that is closer to 1984 than Trump equivocating

I hated BNW in school but it's scary how relevant it has become.

Never read 1985 even though I wrote an exam about a text passage from that book

Fucking this. Huxley was truly one of the greats. Orwell can go suck a dick.

I understand that leftists want to weaponize the book against fascists and their "hate facts", but... That can't possibly work, can it? The book is literally about the left. How the fuck can you spin it the other way?

The irony of the progressive left calling Trump's America an Orwellian dystopia is peak kek

People are waking up to the dangers of socialism?

youtube.com/watch?v=dPD54uvCN-8

Aren't these people the type to worship Fidel Castro? Irony~~~

I thought that this book was about communism.
I think i we want to know what communism is we should read Solzhenitsyn or something.

>It's difficult to free fools from chains they revere
So true in regards to rightwingers and libshits. Those fuckers just think of something completely stupid as a component of normal life.

>Solzhenitsyn

lol gulags and supression aren't Real Communism™!

Orwell is overrated

>Not reading both

It's not a fucking contest!

I still remember a lot of the scenes in 1984 vividly.

The part where he is just sitting in the waiting room still disturbs me.

Fiction is how the teachings of what's wrong with communism, specifically stalinism, are remembered long after the history lessons are forgotten.

Don't underestimate art.

>it's about communism
Orwell was leftist. Neobolshevism, angsoc and third ideology are all clear allusions to nazism. Even "Animal Farm" considers USSR as a degenerate worker state, not that communism is bad in itself but that it got corrupted. Not true, but anyway.

>I tried explaining to a friend Boxer the Horse was the pure communist, what communism was intended to be, the people who actually made it survive as long as it did. All I got were blank looks.

That was really obvious to me, maybe not instantly, but by the end of the novella. You probably just talked to stupid people.

This. Same idea, but was wrote already in 1924

With all of these happenings I Imagine it becoming popular, heck even I looked into buying it, I know it's a good book but I'm already redpilled so there's nothing it can teach me

>It's one of the greatest books ever written.
Fucking anglos stop talking about art already

His book not only about gulag. He also described soviet society in that time.

>"George Orwell was right!"
>from the same Network that brought you hits such as "Fake News" and "Alt-Right"

Tippy-top kekkerino

No, liberals are vastly more insane now than they ever were in the mid 2000s

>in order to translate our butthurt to our desdendants we will leave them not factual information but fiction
Just a couple of tales i heard about communism in USSR:
once in some city somebody found corpses lying under the main street, those were gulag prisoners, so in order to remove every trace of this crime government dropped corpses into the river and crushed them with boat propellers. I mean, physics can be disregarded in order to blame communists for imaginary corpses, right?
During the nights black cars rode through the streets, stopped at doorsteps of oppositioners and listened quietly. If there was noise, KGB broke in, stole the oppositioner and killed him in KGB's headquarters. There was a special room, you see, and every night pile of corpses there rised to the roof. After that those corpses were dumped off in a nearby forest.
Then there was this occasion - some guy was an inmate of oppositioner, and KGB offered him a deal: he makes oppositioner attack him, and KGB frees him in exchange. But miraculously imate comes to understand the oppositioner, and together they triumph over shamed KGB.

Fiction is all about emotions, and you see how feminazis appeal to them exclusively. Fiction is not something that can be trusted in any way.
Also, soviet prisoners once ate a frozen mammoth.

It's hilarious how every retard thinks that his opponents are literally what Orwell describes in 1984.

It's hilarious how everyone thinks that Orwell was an important figure so everyone tries to use his authority in order to shame their opponents.

>animal house

Kek

thoughts on fully automated communism?

seriously? brave new world has a fucking caste system of rich and poor. of course its not communist
