      It means dickhead conservatives get to fill in their own version of the history, which they have done, to the point where "creeping Orwellianism" fanfiction giving an origin story to the Party is basically better known than the actual plot of the actual book

      Right. The obvious thing to me when I read it as a teen was that “this society is incapable of producing more O’Briens. It is clearly fucked long term, but may last a few more decades.”

      Not intelligence, precisely (you can be a very competent Nazi) but creativity, specifically. You need to be able to think like the adversary to do what O’Brien does, and the very crimethink mindset that defines the regime makes cultivating such people impossible.

      The antidote to that is supposed to be doublethink But even the narration from Winston's POV post-conversion points out that doublethink is fucking hard work

      "Doublethink" is one of those concepts that 1984 has made into a very sinister meme that isn't really Like these same chuds really enjoy the apocryphal quote "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain an idea without accepting it", don't they

      Oh Chu, what you don’t realize is that you are in The Party. One cannot know this when they don’t have any original thoughts, & simply repeat the Party line, even if for purely performative reasons, social status, mating tactics, whatever. Orwell’s relevance is significant.

      We don’t need to cancel genius because mediocre cultural commentators who simply repeat slogans, and cannot create their own material, decide that great writers who put their finger on things they hold sacred must be ignored. So sorry, thoughts and prayers.

      Of course, The Party doesn’t need to be the government. Orwell didn’t realize that. It can be high society, or your peers, or a number of private institutions. But it’s unlikely Party Members have an interest in identifying their own ideas.

      Which side of the argument here is looking at mathematicians trying to explain what they've learned about abstract algebra and telling them to shut the fuck up

      God the state of it *Do* you have even one opinion you didn't get from your public school education and from your peer group? Do you yourself actually make any effort to learn interesting things from outside your bubble? Cause it really doesn't come off that way

          Like you people's Orwell fandom even transparently comes from Animal Farm and 1984 being assigned reading in public school curriculums (with a specific framing from being assigned during the Cold War)

          You haven't even read another book *by him*, much less seriously engaged with anyone building off of him or critiquing him

          One side is arguing something stupid because they really want James to be wrong about Critical Theory and their whole ideology that gets everything wrong. But all the cool kids are into it, so why not, everyone needs to get ahead somehow.

          But yea, let’s bash Orwell because all the cool kids who within about 5 years, all started thinking the exact same slogans and using an alternative language at the institutional level, but hella shit god forbid the internets points it out.
