Why do leftshits go through mental gymnastics and try to make it seem this book is about a repressive, conservative, totalitarian regime?
It's clearly about the society that they love: globalists, bottom-feeders, no privacy from the government, but the government is allowed to be as covert as they want, socialism is "for the people," the economy is always getting "better," mass-media is produced and regulated by the government, thought police, etc.
The only thing that 1984 got wrong was the degeneration of society, instead of being sexless, it got even more sex-up and drugged-up, though we see a more accurate representation of that in Brave New World.
Because it pegs them to a tee. Newspeak is political correctness. We stopped them just short of the hard tyranny phase.
Noah Jones
1984 is a depiction of the opposite end of the current world order, currently you are submerged in pleasure and information, there is nothing to do but follow the status quo as you mindlessly absorb entertainment and ignore information and conspiracies, there's no fighting spirit in the populous because why would there be, they're being rewarded constantly and will never see through it.
Jose Morales
Leftists want to see themselves as the good guys, anything that obscures their vision of their own righteousness will either be ignored or destroyed.
Asher Edwards
irony is lost on the stupid

1984 is as relevant as ever. Attempts to dismiss it as limited to Stalinism or as having "gotten it wrong" miss the point. It is totally required reading for its exposition of leftoid cognitive dissonance, not to mention puritanical rage masquerading as "peace and love," which is more relevant than ever.
Eli Perez
I just like it because of all the pictures.
Jayden Rodriguez
>cognitive dissonance essentially this. kinda repetitive if you already understand the concept, but it's a joyous rage
Colton Cox
See, this is wrong. This user reeks of messiah-hunger. He wants to skip to the end and look up "the answer." Both BNW and 84 are highly relevant. The present order has elements of both.
Luke Nguyen
The book was ultimately about the fact that you don't even need to continuously monitor people if you can control how they think.
By limiting people's actions to those that aren't 'racist','sexist' etc, people become narrowerer and narrowerer in what they feel they are even allowed to consider.
So to sum it all up, we are currently living in an Orwellian nightmare
