they dont even read that shit. in 1984 the normal people are not under surveillance and have a lot of liberties (although theyre kept ignorant). the protagonist is literally a party member who is complicit with the government and his girlfriend creates porn slop to distract the masses if im not wrong so it doesnt even make sense to use it when talking about the surveillance of everyday people.

Literally 1984
Yeah she's being revolutionary by sexualizing herself because the party promotes volcel.
Often.
It's actually ironic that they keep comparing life to fiction because the fiction they're citing is often inspired by real life.
"This is just like X from Y!"
My guy, have you considered that X from Y is inspired by the real world? Fascism reminds you of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars because - get this - the Galactic Empire from Star Wars is a commentary on fascism!

When you've been trained to treat the word "politics" like a dirty word not to be spoken in polite company, then you limit yourself to a level of political literary equivalent of what ever gets past your rejection of the topic like a trojan horse, like for example, "entertainment" out of liberal CIAwood. A liberal that doesn't treat the word as dirty and that does actually learn about it, has there own CIA provided words, and CIA provided fictions, only they believe those fictions real, and their words as the height of the science of politics. The willfully ignorant liberals have less that needs correcting because they know less in general, but are more resistant to even listening, while the miseducated liberals have more that needs correcting but aren't as resistant to listening, getting them to actually change their viewpoint and stop defending the system is another story.
