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

This interpretation of the book is flat out wrong if you actually pay attention when you read the whole thing And yet it's incredibly common The *tone* of the book invites it, this sense that revolution has ruined what was a flourishing happy world

And that sucks, honestly One thing that I've noticed is people who love the word "Orwellian" talk about "creeping Orwellianism", they point to some stupid fake college campus scandal and go "These are the trends Orwell was warning us about"
