One of my pet peeves

I can't stand the way self- righteous right- wingers cite Orwell's 1984 as if it proves any of their demented arguments. You can tell right away they've never actually read the book, and if they did they missed the whole point of the story.

The whole premise of the book is how truth and history get rewritten by the authorities to the point where no one knows the truth. The truth goes down the "Memory Hole" and a new story gets written to take the place of what actually happened. If we were living in Orwell's story things like "Jan 6th was just a tourist visit" would become the official story in order to hide the reality that an insurrection was attempted by a butt- hurt cult leader who wanted to stay in power.

As usual they project and ignore the things they do. Just needed to rant. Have a good weekend.

1. Oh, yeah, criticize something when you

don't know diddly squat about it. Just jump on the bandwagon and do what others are doing 'cuz you don't have the brains to think for yourself.

[Edit] When you refuse to use your brains to think for yourself because you're too fucking lazy.

2. Well, sure.

Everything proves exactly what I have been saying all along.
