      I genuinely think it's time to cancel Orwell Not because he was personally problematic or had problematic politics (though there's an argument for both) But because his Internet fanbase are the most insufferable human beings known to modern science

      "Freedom is the freedom to say two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows" What a fundamentally obnoxious quote I mean shit Would you let someone talk to you like that in real life If your friend said it to you in your dorm room you'd punch him

      You get that this is the exact same thing as the Ayn Rand quote about "A = A" right She said it a lot worse because she's a worse writer but the basic idea is the same There's a lot of overlap between their current fanbases

      How is that even possible? Oh wait, no one has ever actually read an Ayn Rand novel. I tried once. It hurt.

      I genuinely think that when a socialist like Orwell writes a book that is as wildly popular with Republicans as 1984 is, it means that, as skilled a writer and a thinker as he may be, he done fucked up It's his mistake and his lefty fans need to own that

          Yeah he couldn't control what people did with his work or how the political landscape evolved after his death but holy shit If I were him and I came back to life and saw who was stanning my book I'd immediately die again

          "If an audience runs with it in bad faith, that's their folly" the ghostly visage of Orwell scolded to the Lefties who summoned him. They were satisfied.

          I’m not sure that you can blame Orwell because Republicans don’t know how to read. Like I get what you mean, and you have a point, but those guys could find a way to twist anything into right wing propaganda.

          Orwell was against Stalinism. It seems likely that 1984 was intended to convey an anti-Soviet message which many might interpret as anti socialist.

          Nah, I think La Rochefoucald's maxim hold true here: Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue: if you right a text denouncing the abuses of an authoritarian elite, would be authoritarians ruler WILL claim it for themselves…

          It's unavoidable because until they size absolute power, and often even afterward, authoritarians' MO ALWAYS includes pretending to be champions of anti-authoritarianism.

          Do you think George Orwell would approve of someone calling his book "objectively, unquestionably totally morally good" Do you think the viewpoint of 1984 is positive toward people who believe things can be "objectively, unquestionably totally morally good"
