People who've only read 1984 like to imagine him as a sort of centrist liberal or even just as a straight up conservative and it's revealing of this pretty big tonal shift from Young Orwell to Old Orwell

Well, given that her profile includes this "Most blocks are via chain; you may tap a friend to appeal." and I have 6 mutuals in common with you, I'll pose the question.
@Nymphomachy Did you block@JWiremuKane on purpose? - Show replies

General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord told then-chancellor Hitler to his face that if he attempted a coup he’d have him shot. H-E’s sons were involved practically every assassination plot against the man while his daughters spiked against Germany throughout World War II.

Orwell also was incredibly sympathetic to Anarchists and was vocally angry at how Russia did the Spanish Revolution so dirty. That he's so popular with liberals is, I think, a function of the fact his book has a good title.
