George Orwell's 1984 on the Covington kids

that good


dude was a prophet

Dammit Musick, I was going to post that one tomorrow.

Just remember, the kid smiling, according to the fascists, is the actual "fascist".

Orwell the prophet

quote:

---

It's scary how many things in that book are common now and that shite was written in the 40s

not really. all of the these goals were published way back then before he wrote the book. they had been discussed at least as far back as Karl Marx. all of these ideas and ideals predate 1900.

I always laugh when the left tries to use Orwell against Republicans

Oh shite. It's happening.gif

Nah...the Two Minutes Hate is much more appropriate here:

"The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp."
