I don’t even think 1984 is very lib, but both of those rank waaaaaay up there in the pantheon of literature misinterpretated by libs which they can’t stop circlejerking about

1984 isn’t pro-anything. It’s just a very long, very dull, barely disguised anti-Stalin rant.

You’re too deep. It’s a great book against a surveillance state for what it’s worth.

It really, really is not a “great book” by any metric. It absolutely drips with Orwell’s bitterness over his experiences in Catalonia. It has no value of its own whatsoever, it is only interesting as an insight into the depth of Orwell’s hatred for communists.

Go ask a lib about bush and tell me he wasn’t right about the memory hole.

No one has to rewrite historical documents or throw things in the memory hole because people literally do not care. They believe whatever they were most recently told to believe. All the evidence that Bush sucked massive ass is still out there, libs just don’t care. It didn’t go anywhere.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.
