Everyone always like to compare the coming regime to the one in the book “1984”, but I’d argue it’s more like “Brave New World”.
People are encouraged to have many partners and not get married, just like in BNW. People also take antidepressants, just like how characters in BNW take “Soma”. People watch pornographic and violent films and reading works of literature is discouraged, just like in BNW. There are plenty of other similarities and it’s astonishing how accurate Huxley was.

1984 is pure retardation anyways
ye its a mixture
your vpn is working
lolcows should be able to relate to john the savage
No shit
The reason why everyone says 1984 and not BNW is *because* our world is BNW, not 1984. If it was 1984 we'd all be instructed to say it's BNW. See how this works?
For someone who has read books about massive fictional psyops to control the population, you seem to have forgotten that you're living in a real one right now
I say this all the time but nobody I know has read the book.
just like bitcoin, people having sex is the new way to mine money... but you have to sleep with as many different people as possible otherwise you get nothing kek
who cares what you compare it to? This is reality not fiction.
you failed. fuck off.
and gay sex "mines" more money
they also forced premature births to lower the quality of the babies. in the real world we clamp their cords early to deny them precious stem cells and give them vaccines that cause brain inflammation as they are babies.
Nobody reads anymore. If they did, people like Fauchi would hanging from a lamp pole.
If im not mistaken, the author, Alduous Huxley, had a brother who was a founding member of the League of Nations, predecessor to the UN.
Very true, but that’s not to say that 1984 doesn’t have some good points in it because it does, like how the media uses language manipulation to further their goals.
True, I go through between 1-2 dozen books/yr, and I haven't read a single one of them. All audiobooks.
BNW is scarily accurate, especially considering what the world was like in 1931
yes but why was it written in the first place?
who commissioned the author?
Brave New World reflects the upper middle class narcissism and state imposed homosexuality. 1984 reflects the lower middle class maze of confusion for anyone who tries to get to the source for information. Both concepts are in play but Orwell is statistically more relevant.
Yes he did. He would know better than anyone.
checked
Statisticslly USA is the first to attack and get annihlated, false flag even in the bible.
You ignore the differences though. Random Sex may be encouraged by your peers, but not officially sanctioned by the adult world, that’s what growing up is all about. Drugs are not officially sanctioned as is alcohol. We tolerate classes of drugs through the will of the majority regardless of how many straight people you hang with. In BNW drugs were used as a source of control as was indulging in brainless pursuits such as pornography. Great literature still exists and at your disposal to read at anytime. We still offer an education that hopefully offers enough varying points of view allowing for a more informed decision. Beware of those who fear a world of choice and would prefer a government that chose for them.
One of the things he "wrongly got right," was the notion that in the future, the games couldn't be cheap, like soccer. They had to involve a huge entry fee with expensive equipment to play. He thinks of "elevator squash," and "the centrifugal bumble puppy," or whatever. Instead, what we got is XBOX, PS5, PC, etc. He was right that the equipment needed to play would be expensive, just wrong about how it was implemented.
That has no bearing on the stories. The US is just the largest precursor to a non-nationalistic state whose citizens do not share a history.
China and Russia are trying to keep their homeland pure but the truth is that their economies contaminate them. In the end, they will face the greatest swarm of immigration.
I agree. If SJWs get their way it would be brave new world status. They really think they would be the people underground running things in paradise, and not the drugged out cattle that work to make it real.
Yes he was right about that, just in a different way
It depends on how wealthy you are. If you're "successful" you're living BNW. If you're a "failure" it's still very 1984.
