I may be off but I think 1984 is about:
a white male that falls in love with a woman. In their leftie oppressive culture white cisgender love isn't allowed (HOW DARE HE!). So he is captured by the thought police (Jack Dorsey's police force of the future), stands trial in front of the sheep (the X is the same symbol used by the extinction rebellion. Chadwiko and Sopwiths are there. ToD is there holding Sopwith's purse (his testicles are inside) so she can do the 'X' symbol too), and tortured until he is lobotomised (to think like the rest of them).
As the credits roll Lizzo jumps on the stage and they all clap because it's beautiful that morbidly obese women are no longer oppressed by the patriarchy - the music isn't important!
That's the beauty of art - we all interpret it in our own ways. Oh except if you're a white male because if your opinion doesn't align with the masses you're a racist/misogynist/nazi and automatically wrong.
I love 'At the Drive in'That won't happen till you grow up kid.

If you want a picture of the future JLG wants, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.
I always thought it was about learning German safety words before entering room 101.Let's discuss your understanding of what 1984 is about.
We will be civil and polite.
I think it will be fascinating discussion.
As the fear turns to anger...
Kung Flu is a good one.
'Wubonic plague' is the best I've heard thus far. A recent meta-analysis did show that the Coronavirus is prone to attacking those that call it by names that are deemed insensitive in greater numbers vs. those that call it Covid-19. Gender studies majors have been conducting surveys in hospital wards to tease out the important data. The research was conducted by students at Evergreen State College.
Fun fact A. Huxley was Arthur Blair’s tutor at eton.
a brave new world is a better read too.
eric arthur blair, I always thought it was eton type hyphenated names.Eric Blair?
Brave New World ended up being the better prediction, but 1984 isn't really a prediction.
Argh that stupid Foucault book is ringing in my head now.. Discipline and punishment.
Oh no not Foucault, I don't think I have the stomach for that at this time.
For me the fundamental lesson - now we've establish Groin guru is too frit to have the discussion, little scaredy cat he is - of 1984 is that Big Brother DOESN'T control society.
Only a very small minority, about 10-15 per cent as Orwell makes abundantly clear, of the population are subject to the hugely strict control of the regime and the Thought Police.
Groin clearly does not understand this fundamental point of the book.
He also doesn't understand that he is Parsons, the most pathetic character in the whole thing.
He's more likely to be Parsons kids I reckon.

A lot of people are about to be deported.. nothing to see here.
“We do have some people profiteering, hoarding not for consumption and either selling overseas or in a black market arrangement in Australia. We are going to come after those people and give them a fair warning now it won’t be a pretty experience.”
Oh no not Foucault, I don't think I have the stomach for that at this time.

I actually prefer Animal Farm of the late Orwell deep political stuff.
Hard to go past Down and Out in Paris and London for pure immersive journalism too.
I’m going to need something stronger then that.. after years of abuse, I thought I killed that part of my brain.I suggest you take 2 x panadol.

And back on ignore you go.
He's the worst kind of person. His whole life has been easy - taxpayers paid for his education all the way through to PhD, he gets to work doing what he actually enjoys which is a rare privilege in this society, taxpayers pay for his very cushy life in academia, taxpayers pay his 17.5 per cent super, yet he sooks about "lefties".
He leads the most protected life you can get, but sooks about being "under attack" and whines about being a victim (from 16 year old girls lol) because his life is so easy he actually has to invent threats.
Brain is so cooked from social media he's lost whatever reference points about civil behaviour he ever had - like mocking people for being poor and having mental health struggles from the comfort of his taxpayer funded gig.
I mean, you can have fun pushing the sooky little shit around for a while - he runs away and cries then, and he's easily lured into spectacular self owns, because he's nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is.
But hey, that's sinking to his level.
Just put him on ignore.
I have taken you off ignore purely for the purposes of a discussion about 1984, which you have referenced repeatedly in the last few days.
What do you think 1984 is about, what is the fundamental lesson from it?
So you don't understand it?
Or you're scared of having an actual intellectual discussion about it.
Are you scared? You do have a PhD after all, and I'm just a dumb ex journo.
Let's discuss your understanding of what 1984 is about.
We will be civil and polite.
I think it will be fascinating discussion.
You're such a useful idiot.
You're Parsons in real life.
You do get the reference don't you.
So Groin guru - do you want to have nice, civil discussion about 1984?
It doesn't have to be now, we can do it over time.
Just let me know in a reply to this post.
