You know, weirdly enough. Back in my idiot libertarian years, I didn't see the world of :1984: as a representation of "Stalinist Russia" or something. But of neoliberal US and UK... Huh, :1984: was instrumental in me becoming a :red-team:. lol

    Orwell was a colonial cop, then a BBC propagandist, and anticommunist snitch. He never visited the USSR. Writers are advised "write what you know" because they'll end up doing so anyway, no matter how hard they try to do otherwise.
