Reading this, is he really this generation's Orwell? I'm

Far too obsessed with identity politics to be considered on the same level as Orwell

Russell Brand is "our generation's John Ruskin"
-Stephen Hawking

>>7592991

It's amazing that Brand has that surname. Time to adopt Russel Brand as the signifier for lazy champagne-socialism and faux-spirituality which is really nothing but a mask to indulge in even more hedonism. Russell Brand philosophy for affluent, bored millennials.

I thought Laurie Penny was our generation's Orwell.

>>7592991
>read 'Chavs'
>nope

I think he wishes he was. Doesn't stop The Establishment from being good. If you liked it, try No Logo, Manufacturing Consent and Fast Food Nation.

no, Orwell was against marxism and statism

>>7592991
not really, but he's a great journalist and his books are very journalist-y

as a leftie i like him a lot

>>7593335
the irony

Literally laughed. I can't believe even Russell Brand would say that.

>>7592991
It is a superb read but he's no Orwell

Shite.

>>7593343
So is Jones. They're the same "democratic socialist" cancer, just made for different times - shocked moralism on the one hand and informing on CPGB members for the government on the other for Orwell, hollow tumblr identity politics from for Jones.

>>7592991
So, he's a shit writer, with shitty prose, forgettable characters and more didactic than a fucking children's book

Agreeing with the majority here. He's researched well, but has only a small idea of where he actually stands politically.

If you're interested, I reviewed it in full on my blogger bit (dot ) ly/1JaoWir

>>7593343
Orwell fought with the trots in the Spanish Civil War

>>7595496
He did say this was mostly by accident (though that in actuality he was also most politically aligned with them).

Owen Jones is a despicable quisling child

>>7592991
>Is Owen Jones this generation's Orwell?
Well, he's an overrated author that is adored by redditors. Take that as you will, OP.

>>7593335
Is that john Stewart?

I am giggling like a fucking autist right now what the fuck

No this generation's Orwell is still Orwell.
Owen Jones is this generations's Owen Jones.

Literally a cuck

>>7599131
Who was Orwell's generation Owen Jones?

>>7599140
Did he really write that? Is his chav book fiction or is he actually a cuck?

>>7599148
It's a false quote.

>>7599141
George Orwell :^)

>>7599153
No, it's not.

>>7597742
I was expecting the feminine Jewish looking guy to support king cuck. What is the guy's name.

>>7593163
I like Laurie Penny

>>7599165
>this tory propaganda
shoo you little cuckservative.

I had to do a critical analysis of this for a political economy class
I didn't actually read it but I got good marks
anyway the few pages I read were shit and attracts people like >>7593318

>>7597742
Fucing idiot doesn't even know what his position is

The SJW's hate him for being straight white male and even that doesn't stop him.

>>7593163
>not jessica valenti
look at this pleb zomfg

>>7599284
He has a boyfriend

>>7599250
to expand on this a bit the one chapter I did read was on media
he didn't mention The Guardian once except to quote one of their columnists
it really is garbage, read some NRx if you really want to know how they get away with it ;)

>>7599320
So he didn't mention your favorite newspaper? Sounds shit

>>7599348
no it's more that he forwards the idea that it's the evil Daily Mail and Murdoch empire holding the working man down but completely neglects to mention that The Guardian (the 2nd most read online newspaper in the world) might also have some degree of power
basically it's a book in which an Establishment man doesn't realise he's an Establishment man, read Nick Land instead

>>7599377
Stop shilling your dark enlightenment shit here. Everyone know's it's just an edgy version of the European New Right

>>7599390
they're not really related
NRx offers the best analysis of power and no amount of snarky greentexts will change that

>>7599165
Given that it tells you exactly where in his book he supposedly said this, anyone can go and take a look for themselves. I believe it's on Google books, you can check both the given page number when you discover that chapter is about something else enyirely you can try and grep for the text itself. Its not there.

>>7599402
NRx is a purely Anglo/Amero-centric perspective that bastardise's the works of true reactionaries like Evola

>>7599415
NRx doesn't pay attention to Evola at all
for good reason too

>>7599402

>>7599412
You fucking idiot, go to any bookstore and tell me of wrong.

>>7592991

>and how they get away with it!

SPOILER ALERT: MONEY

Thanks for this wonderfully insightful book.

Reddit is ruining this board.

Owen Jones is shit. He is cancerous. He has no idea who the working classes are. He grew up in a socialist, metropolitan family. If he came to where I live and spouted his usual drivel, he would be laughed out. And I live in the Humber area.

NRx is politics for autists

>>7592991
if Russel Brand says so then definitely not

>>7592991
No, he's a bum.

Go read/listen to something actually good like Molyneux

nice snarky responses

Reading this thread has been eventful.
