      Nobody is saying the Party in 1984 are good guys you dipshit they're saying that your habit of just pointing to people you don't like in real life and say that they're the Party and you're Winston Smith is insufferable, vacuous, fart-sniffing wank

      If you think the actual point of the book is to just say that totalitarianism is bad you wasted your time reading it Yeah no fucking shit the Party are supposed to be unlikable You're supposed to frown when Winston gets electroshocked not smile, well spotted Christ almighty

      Do you get that when you write a novel the "message" of the novel isn't just outright stating a philosophy of right and wrong It comes through in the aesthetics, in how the author *feels* about right and wrong as indirectly expressed through their many invisible choices

      Something Orwell talked about, a lot, when reviewing other people's books in depth And when this many chuds seriously think Orwell was speaking on their behalf and shared their dipshit idea of what "authoritarianism" means he made some bad choices

      But don't give me this "Oh, you have problems with 1984, that means you like the idea of executing political prisoners and feeding them to rats and shit" Shut up

      Have you been executed? Have you been fed to rats? Are you locked in a cell right now wasting away on your own filth? Have I ordered a guard to break your kneecap with a truncheon? Doesn't seem like it, and yet you keep describing things as "Orwellian" So much for that

      Being fired for your opinions is "Orwellian" in the sense that it has been the status quo for the working class under capitalism for hundreds of years, and Orwell did not in fact like capitalism

          Yeah, I mean, the only application of "Orwellian" that makes any sense here is the degree of monitoring, and even that's a stretch for things that become news stories. Or just, you know, things people say loudly around other people.

          The only places using legit Orwellian language today are HR departments and news articles about cop murders.

          (This is what I mean about one of the critical flaws in 1984 - it's set up so the dead past, the world we live in now in real life, is totally inaccessible to Smith, he knows almost nothing about it He imagines it as some kind of paradise and the narrative just lets him do so)

          It's part of this sort of arch joke that the Party uses "capitalists" as a strawman to beat up on, saying that their defeat of capitalism justifies everything they do, but no one even remembers what a capitalist is - they just have this image of a rich guy wearing a top hat

          That's not true. Orwell in 1946: "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it."https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/why-i-write/ …

          In Orwell people don't get fired for their opinions, they get Disappeared and removed from public and private record There's a very very big difference

          It's not even just in degree, it's fundamentally different in kind. Like, google fired the guy who wrote the "women aren't as smart" memo because they thought that was shitty, right? But he's still out there, he probably got hired by someone else, I'm sure he has friends maybe

          In real life, the only thing that even comes close to deserving the term “Orwellian” is the Trump Presidency. He literally contradicts himself in real time and his cult goes along without hesitation. Like they just heard him say what he didn’t say..
