      Lately, whenever anyone draws the obvious parallels to 1984, posters seem to jump to say that Orwell had unsavoury beliefs and therefore it negates any correct thing he ever said.

      It’s such a weird world where we decide someone must be 100% correct by today’s standards or else everything they ever said must be complete bunk.

      All of our historical heroes were assholes by today’s standards, and we will be assholes in the eyes of our descendants.

      I do believe a lot of people care it’s just the ones that care have no power to do anything about it because the ones that have power are making too much money off of us not being able to do anything about it

      Most people are pathetic weaklings to do something, as I noticed, only americans can somehow resist this fascism along with some other peoples, and the rest of the world is ready to accept any dystopia, and believe in the fairy tales that are told to them, justifying themselves: what could I change?
