    What is wild to me is that it is rarely the chanting crowds that are supposed to be ‘wrong’ in your average dystopia sci-fi novel. Only 1984 has that, and they are mandatory rallies in movie theatres, the “Hour of Hate” by the state, not spontaneous protests by the people.

    Just say, “Some people here haven’t read 1984 in high school and it shows.” we know that’s what you actually mean.
