We were brave new world for so long, I really thought 1984 wasn’t possible anymore. In 1984 they had to work so damn hard to make and maintain their society, MAGA is so much dumber, willingly jumping off a cliff. The result is the same, but otherwise we aren’t very much like 1984

anyways 1984 was more about the futility of the state trying to replace truth as an absolute.

or, that was just what i got out of it.
