As if they care. It's not even their own history that's safe from revisionism, it's ALL history they could get their hands on.
Also, who the hell is Barbara May Cameron?

That guy would surely hide to Salman Rushdie's hideout if he have did a line of anti-Muslim woke clothes.

Want to add insult to injury? She is far from the most notable person born today. You want to know someone else born today that people would actually care about?

It's bad enough these left-liberal types treat abortion like a hobby. The fact they're doing this with euthanasia too makes them downright horrific. For all their talk about rights, they sure find a lot of ways to devalue life. I know this is Canada, but my point stands. The liberal-left IS anti-life. Among other things.

The thing is, they're both right. The people Orwell wrote about were a ruling caste, the "outer" and "inner" party; the outer lived by a strict ascetic code, in a world where language was constantly updated and history re-written in order to enforce their conformity. Any deviation from the ever-changing rulebook was met with punishment and expulsion from society. The inner party were unaffected by all of that and lived however they liked.
The people Huxley wrote about also existed in Orwell's book in the form of the Proles. The machinations of the party didn't much affect their day-to-day living. Instead, they were kept complacent with a constant stream of trivia and entertainment, meaning they could be left to their own devices, as they'd never want to become more than they were.

Absolutely. There’s no doubt that both of them were right. Both techniques are used and both overlap. Distract people with hedonistic pleasure, it’s easier, but if they drive round honking, the jackboots come out pretty fast. Huxley and Orwell are talking about the same thing, only from a slightly different angle. People need to read both both books, and understand how they relate to what we are experiencing now. They should also read the road to Wigan pier, which is (IMO) Orwell’s best - the description of thumbprints in tripe amd poverty is stark
There are so many short sci fi stories from that golden era which keep coming back to me as I watch the horror of modern life unfold. I would add in farenheight 451 which no one seems to mention, and ‘bilennium’ and ‘build up’ by J G Ballard, both of which are about Malthusian horror and overpopulation, tiny living spaces and people living in the equivalent of 15 min cities.
Good sc fi is about the present as much as the future. The best writers tap into something very universal about the human condition.

Add to that "The Wanting Seed" by Anthony Burgess, its not completely accurate but its fucking prescient about how the depopulation agenda works and how gayism and troonisms will start becoming socially preferable to being normal.

It's not a joke, but it is kind of presented out of context to generate outrage. It's not like an inspirational video about sending your grandma to the sausage factory because you don't want to deal with her anymore. The old lady has chosen euthanasia because she has a terminal illness, and I don't necessarily see anything Orwellian or Huxleyian about this. If anything, it's more meaningful than most crap that gets posted on Instagram.
