Orwell's works make more sense as critiques of the US and that's really funny to me.
Because liberals project all their flaws onto AES countries.
Exactly, I read 1984 when I was still kind of a lib and I still thought "hey, this just sounds like the US!" lol
I was a very young american conservative boy when I read it and I also was like "wow this is a critique of my country!" The book was one of many baby steps left for me and so I always find it extremely funny that it wasn't supposed to do that.
Same, but with Animal Farm.
Now I'm a girl and I respect Stalin.
Sorry Orwell, you fucked up.
Word. I hope there's a hell so he has been able to watch his beloved Capitalism turn in to the hell he thought Stalin's USSR was.
One of those Isekais, except it's Orwell in a cyberpunk realizing "I fucked up I fucked up"
Orwell gets Isekai'd to modern Britain and thinks Stalin took over until someone finally shoves a history book in his face and the last shot is just him standing in the British rain staring bleakly at nothing.
