      It's funny how I hate Ray Bradbury a whole lot more than I hate George Orwell and FAHRENHEIT 451 is probably one one of the most poorly-written books I've ever had to read but as a whole, it's been a lot less harmful to political discourse than 1984, a book I actually enjoyed

      Like what the fuck is 451 even about really? I don't know. I'm not even sure Bradbury knows. Supposedly it's about "book-burning" but like Bradbury has next to no actual literacy in groups whose voices typically get targeted by book-burning. He doesn't care about Helen Keller.

      Also like. The book is probably one of the most misogynist things I ever had to read. Women are materialistic wretches without any interiorities beyond what they want to watch on television and men are sensible bookish people trying to elevate the conversation. okay.

      It's not even like the book has really had any impact. Like back when Jack Thompson was the end-all, be-all censorship boogeyman of the gamer community, nobody self-importantly quoted Bradbury because the tone of that book is actually, Ray Bradbury fucking hates your vidya games.

      Nobody is ever actually going to burn Ray Bradbury's books because they're just incompetently written and totally irrelevant, I don't really know what he was scared of, the guy didn't have a transgressive bone in his body

      Like it's really kind of offensive when you think about it I mean he writes about all these great Classical philosophers having their books burned and shit, while Classical and Enlightenment aesthetics are typically celebrated by actual fascists who want to burn books

      Like the people who have avatars of Plato and Thomas Hobbes now are precisely the kinds of people who would have burned down the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in the thirties, meanwhile I don't know any trans person who really wants to come after REPUBLIC or LEVIATHAN

      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

      Honestly, Aldus Huxley had his number way back in 1949. Orwell foresaw a world where we have truth taken from us. Huxley countered that the REAL danger was a world where there's SO MUCH information that we couldn't tell true from false or vital from trivial. Huxley was right.

      I'm kind of meh on both of them tbh Like that's not actually a very good description of BNW even if Huxley (and Postman) thought it was, everyone in BNW is literally brainwashed by the hypnopaedia and books are also banned
