Brave new world all ready happened

Why not both?

Both of them

The proles actually live similar in both

inb4 that retarded image that gets everything incorrect

Combination of both happening all day everyday, right fucking now.

Both. Brave New World for the masses and 1984 to keep the war machine alive and dissidents suppressed. .

This. Currently a combination of the two is shaping the world.

both of them are happening simultaneously

Doesn't seem fair to make me choose

1984.
Brave New World too cucked for this country.I see every country is going to be right winger in some day.

see for yourself

But I love guns and grenades

Daily reminder that BNW is not a dystopia. Population control must be implemented throughout the Africa and India before earth reaches 13B human population.

Fahrenheit 451

Why 13 billion?

>that pic

who fucking cares?

This is the future.

Are you prepared?

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.

a mix of both.

>social darwinism on steroids
Best future I can imagine. Too bad most of Sup Forums would get killed within two days.

OP have you not noticed that reality is a mix of both of these? It goes much farther and worse than any of these authors could have predicted.

Combination of the two is already occurring.

Humongous 2016!

examples?

The world needs to keep itself from ending until I can get myself a V8 Interceptor

anyone got the full version of this?

The one on the right is more like Bradbury rather than Huxley.

Better than this neoliberal dystopia

Fuck yeah, I'm gonna be a warlord. Time to start hoarding water.

A mix of both. The vast majority of the population lives a la Brave New World, while those who resist are met with the 1984 treatment

become a warlord

1984 first, then Brave New World.

Brave New world it's already happening.

ty user.

as always it's both simultaneously.

>In “1984,” people are controlled by inflicting pain.

I see this repeated so often and it's just plain wrong.

Read 1984 again. The proles are controlled through pleasure. There are organizations that create porn, that run the lottery, purely to amuse the proles. Orwell even writes how they waste their time talking about sports.

Winston is a member of the Outer Party and so things are quite different from his perspective.

This, after world war 3

Hopefully

Brave New World, and it's going to be great.

Both scenarios are just the light version of what is to come. Especially when they still have to get the population down to 500 million like they "promised"....

Both. You are already live in it.

...

A mix of both

1984

I just refinished reading it and ya am I crazy for thinking this is what sjw's want the whole

war is peace
freedom is slavery
ignorance is strength
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”
made me think this very well be our near future

1984:
>sports and movie stars more important han politics.
More people watch the Superbowl then presidential debates.
More people vote for american idol then president.

BNW:
>population split into alphas (the 1%), betas, (middle class) and gammas (clones for menial jobs).
Clones= niggers and beaners having 10 kids

Stole my meme

>inflicting pain.
Totalitarian terror. Also known as a modern day traffic stop.

AM I BEING DETAINED

Ohio fag?

1984 is the better book, but Brave New World is happening now.

1984 in the third world countries
BNW in the first world countries

...

Ok, I'll try again..

>Modern day Totalitarian terror.

Yes.

God, replicators can't come soon enough.

Both of them already happened by 2012
>NSA leaks show Google sends everything you do to the Utah data center
>Patriot Act and NDAA can round up the worst dissenters
>conspicuous flood of MDMA in early 10s with heroin use near highs thanks to Afghanistan
>Oculus, Tinder, etc provide hyperstimulation
>1% of population has autism

Fahrenheit 451 is in the process of being completed
>Hate speech rules in EU
>Twitter, Facebook fillings
>Push for revisionist history

Children of Men is beginning
>Babies born fucked up on zika
>Daily terrorist attacks treated as a minor nuisance
>First world civil wars seem to be likely

Truly life imitates art

I think that it would not take much to get us from BNW to 1984.

I also think that a certain mixture of two is occuring.

what
said
1984 is starting to happen
