LITERALLY 1984

Comments


Why were either of these removed
But also why did they ever exist :unsure:
Neither of those questions have a justifiable answer do they?

This is a kind of humor I don't understand. @Scott_pilgrim, you are a very intelligent teenager and would intellectually tower about anybody your age (and older) where I live. Seriously, you would run rings around them. You certainly know that these are not examples for *real* problems, don't you?

Reading a headline referring to "Nineteen Eighty-Four" I get this bad feeling.

When I read the book for the first time in the 1990s it was a shock! The only thing that could calm me down was how exaggerated the description of this horrible totalitarian world was. Re-reading the book last year and was an even more horrible experience: I compared it to the real world now... and found near exact quotes of the book in the news and on posters in front of supermarkets. Many of the things described in the book are actually already worse.*

Much from classic dystopias has become more or less reality. Same goes for some newer ones (like Idiocracy which was ridiculously optimistic to set the downfall 500 years in the future)

Please don't joke about Nineteen Eighty-Four and the like.

*The third part in the book with the physical torturing is also outdated. The real thing does not even need physical pain to achieve the same result.

Holy shit they're fucking dead the sarcasm dripping from this statement is brutal

We all know this is sarcasm because no one would say it unironically

imagine travelling back in time and telling george orwell that there would be so many comparisons to this book to the point where it becomes a joke
