made a liberal post on liberal reddit making insanely farfetched and liberal comparisons to trump's presidency
Was anyone else disappointed we never got to read one of Winston's newspeak articles? I found the idea interesting.

Closed the book and put it back on my bookshelf

Continue on with 5th grade.
Throw the book and procede to read real literature.
>>9036843
Realised most people that use it to draw comparisons in real life haven't read it or are full or are full of shit. Then I put it away.
>>9036843
Say "really makes you think"
Felt kind of shitty for a few minutes and then moved on with my life.
updated my goodreads profile
>>9036843
Wrote a scathing review disguised as a high school essay which would later be described as "unconventional, yet poignant".
Felt like I understood society and politics.
Felt like.

You start to realise that most people who mention it haven't read it, or read it and skimmed the most interesting parts.
Seriously, understanding the Goldstein section talking about how Olligarchical Collectivism exists as a way of preventing the prosperity that industrialization should make inevitable, because the upper and middle class will instinctually preserve scarcity and the class system, even to their own detriment so they can maintain a sense of privilege, all of that is ten times more vital than the hysterics over surveillance most people connect with the book.

Masturbated.
>>9036843
Threw it into the trash halfway through and started with Huxley instead.
Didn't enjoy the style of writing, felt laborious and unappealing to read.
Voted for God Emperor Trump and then masturbated.
>>9036843
Probably masturbated or played my N64, since I was a kid and all.
