Ok that’s a lie, I got animal farm. I got it because because my English teacher seems obsessed with it but I was luckily spared from doing it in class and instead I’m doing An Inspector Calls. I thought I might read it so that I have a better understanding of it in case I need to refute it.

Wish me luck,

Yours truly

    All dystopian fiction is inherently unscientific in the sense that it relies on the reader’s personal interpretation of a contextless “society” which itself is a questionable extrapolation on the part of some delusional bullshit author. If someone brings up Orwell during an argument, laugh in their face.

    When I was in Middle School, I was assigned with the smart kids who going places, to do an Animal Farm trial. Looking back super manipulative and blatant propaganda, but I was assigned to Squealer cause I was loud af (still am). Anyways this is me saying that I as an outspoken communist voice in my area, and in support of Stalin, makes me wondered if I am a commie by internalizing Squealer.

      For real. We’re not going to draw political conclusions using Star Wars as a reference. It’s a fictional book completely written by a paid anti-communist. If you use it as an argument against communism you’ve already lost in my eyes.
