    "This is so Orwellian. It's just like 1984." - some guy who has never read 1984. "Actually, if it was like 1984, the government would be hitting thirteen people with a clock." - me, the intellectual who has read the first line of it.

        "This is so Kafkaesque," I see, upon seeing a person who looks a bit reminiscent of but not identical to Franz Kafka.

        Okay, you joke, but when I Googled to make sure I was remembering the first line correctly, I saw a lot of people earnestly arguing that the point of the first line is that the clocks are broken and nobody says anything.https://twitter.com/fantagor/status/1377649408527990788 …

        I think there may be something to the idea that the first line is meant to induce an immediate sense of wrongness or otherness. "A bright cold day" is not an alien experience but it's also not the cliché norm.

        In 1984 it seems like the government is the only one with cameras. . .

        Accurate. Everyone knows authoritarian socialism only works if the clock strikes 13.

        And they always forget about the part where porn is illegal and for an hour everyday you get to beat the shit out of someone. Imagine an Orwellian society with how retail workers are treated, there'd be no one left.
