Getting too close to comfort for you?
no, it's a novel, it's a work of fiction, not a piece of theory or history that you can quote, the ending and the world is entirely built by the writer, there's no study it's literally arguments made up by the writer based on no sources or research, anyone can write a dystopian story, I could write a dystopian story and quote it right now, it's not argument, it's stupid.
You know, in my novel of people who quote novels ending up as nazis, you do resemble it a lot.
/\ as valid as using a novel like 1984 or animal farm or whatever else as an argument
1984 and Brave New World are allegories based on real life social observations and events. So, yes, they are based on history. They are famous for a reason. It is just that you find it too close to comfort.
my 3 sentence novel is also based on observing you.
Yes, anyone right of you is a Nazi.
How original. Pulitzer prize winning.
Looks like you found it too close for comfort
Anyone who criticizes your usage of novels as meaning anything got hit close home
They're famous because the US regime uses them to indoctrinate children in their flag pledging factories
I don't think I heard Americans pledge in the name of Huxley and Orwell.
are you being deliberately stupid as a joke right now?
The fact that they're this mad says yes.
Reminds me of the same reaction, but inverse for the right, when Squid Game first came out. The right keeps insisting that the show is about socialism, even though the creator explicitly mentioned it's about capitalism.
