"X is acting like Voldemort. Voldemort level evil. Literally 1984." What are you a child?

If someone brags about reading for status but only reads fiction, their knowledge is useless in practice. Fiction can be great, but treat it like junk food, enjoyable but not real world wisdom

Jorjor orwil made a point about how IncSoc was evvvviiiilll because they encouraged volcel so the main female love interest rebelled by sleeping with strangers - I don’t think the Soviet Union was particularly anti-sex and it lowkey reminded of the time when leftist men pretended OF was the upmost feminist liberation or something.

    OF? is it OnlyFans?

    In Orwell's case, he was genuinely a sexist man, so that reflected in his writing. He was probably not concerned whether the USSR was anti-sex or not.

    Today, I don't know why so many people think that a woman objectifying herself is feminism.

    Edit: clarification
