Was Ray Bradbury Redpilled?

And is world of Fahrenheit 451 an accurate depiction of society today ?

>tfw born in the same hometown as him

Is that what the Dallas shooter meant?

I think most of the meme sci-fi authors imagined le ebil nazi right wing government when they were writing their books.

I mean book burning was an obvious reference to Germany.

>implying our rural churches and rural libraries don't burn just as many bools

>implying book burning isn't awful

bradbury was moderately based. However, it's not the individual we need to think about. Ray Bradburry is just some nerdy looking fuck. His work, however, is brilliant. We have to DRAW from these works and implement the good ideas he had.

Same as Orwell. His work is fucking based. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is the best fucking dystopian novel imo, and he was an acid tripping fella.

It really doesn't matter if they were individually "based".

I think I'd have to agree with you. Apparently, the FBI was investigating Bradbury as a possible communist sympathizer.

>Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is the best fucking dystopian

>dystopian

Aldous and Julian Huxley were life-long Fabians, you mongoloid.

BNW was a model of transpalnting Hindu caste-society in the West, which was Huxley's dream.

holy shit this board is beyond bluepilled

No, books aren't banned, you stupid fuck. You should be Canadian, this post is so shitty.

I don't know, man. Seems pretty dystopian to me. Let's not forget, the line between dystopia and utopia is blurred by personal beliefs.

Also, you literally proved my point, Vladimir. I could not care less whether or not Huxley was a Fabian. As I said, it does NOT matter if the individual was 'based'. You look at their work, not their personal beliefs. Literature is a form of art, and you can draw many different and sometimes conflicting conclusions by analysing them.

Go back to gulag, sergay ;D

That fucking war cry on the right brah.

yeah, he was in on it
and the modern NWO Is doing just that. That's why the UN promotes street shitter religion in the form of new age meditation shit, and why it was pushed in the hippie movement

I doubt think he had Nazism or authoritarian government specifically in mind when he wrote it (but it is a theme.) The point of the book is that a culture of easily digestible media and leisure breeds ignorance and complacency. I think it rings pretty true today. But in reality, governments don't need to ban books and ideas, because people don't care about them in the first place. People in general still read, but after they leave the school system they mostly read schlock with no substance. They spend their leisure time consuming media with no substance. Brave New World has similar themes.

Most of the influential dystopian novels were actually inspired by authoritarian left-wing governments, namely communist/socialist states like the USSR (1984 and We being the major ones.) The only influential sci-fi authors I can think of that wrote about futuristic right-wing governments were Philip Dick (wrote about both futuristic left-wing and right-wing authoritarian scenarios in the US) and Heinlein (who actually wrote in favor of right-wing nationalism.)

no arguing that.

My point is that you don't think about the personality or personal beliefs when reading a book. For example, Wagner hated Jews. Plenty of Jews listen to Wagner.

These books are still interesting and important pieces of art we can all learn from.

The only thing Fahrenheit 451 got wrong about society today is that in the book the general population are depicted as vapid sheeple, where as today's society are comprised of pseudo intellectuals who want to ban ideas instead of burn books which are the physical representation of ideas

Ray Bradbury's stories were pretty shitty. I downloaded all his short stories as audiobooks and while his voice is nice, it's just boring, bland, 50's nostalgia bullshit.

Some stories are interesting but overall his work is unappealing to me.

Also, The Giver (still required reading in most schools) is obviously depicting the end result of a left-wing progressive government.

Brave New World does a good job at representing that, desu. The way they look down on anything "savage" may make progressives think of colonial Europe, but it makes me think of how progressives see traditional european/western cultures (see cultural marxism).

This quote from Fahrenheit 451 perfectly supports your comment

>"Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy."

You're a fucking idiot who clearly doesn't understand the book.

Island was his Fabian construction of a functioning utopia. Go check it out comrade.

From the foreword to BNW: "unless we choose to decentralize and to use applied science, not as the end to which human beings are to be made the means, but as a means of producing a race of free individuals, we have only two alternatives to choose from: either a number of nationalized, militarized totalitarianism...... or one supranational totalitarianism called into development by the social chaos resulting from the rapid technological progress"

Anthem is a good read too.

the russian user is retarded senpai. you're completely right with this.

Fahrenheit 451, 1984 and BNW should be our holy Trinity of books warning us against the globalist future

Bradbury butthurt that his books weren't selling.
Blames other choices for entertainment.
Writes a book about society going to hell because they aren't reading enough.
Profit.

I'm sure he wept like a bitch when they paid him for the rights to make 451 into a movie.

Anyway...society has probably always been this way.

A certain number of people enjoy reading.
A smaller number enjoy finding hidden meanings in writing.
Nothing wrong with that.

Today they blame video games, back in his day they blamed movies and TV.
