    Fiction written by a useful idiot for Britain, no less. Distasteful.

        Not reading 1984 would honestly make him smarter

          Yeah idk. I just couldn’t imagine being so stupid that you think that would be worth saying to someone. It’s just embarrassing.

            They forced us to read Animal Farm in school, but not 1984 oddly enough. George Orwell isn’t even an entertaining writer alongside being a propagandist for empire. And an attempted rapist. And a plaigiarist. And a racist. And a homophobe. And worst of all he was English.

              We had to read “The Giver” when I was in school. Similar premise. Never realized that it was all anti communist propaganda until I was older.
