There's definitely no 2+2=5, Doublethink, 2 Minutes Hate, or "I love Big Brother" happening on that site, no sir.

He definitely hasn't.
1984s dystopia was founded on the authorities cultivating what people are allowed to think (uhhhhhh General Manager of Resetterradotcomellellsee has always been at war with that sort of thing) whereas Brave New Worlds is predicated on the arguably more insidious dystopia of people just not giving a shit anymore in favour of Living their Best Life. ![]()
Brave New World is also a critique (the now usually included Brave New World Revisited spells this out for the people who missed it*), being critiques doesn't make either not "truly" dystopian.

I started doing Instacart/Costco combo and feel like I got a raise lol. There's also a local Sam's Club if I just want to go in person. These memberships paid for themselves in a few visits. Man, that's crazy!!!! Costco and Sam's Club are cheaper!?!?!? Whoa!!!! Those memberships can save you money and pay for themselves over time!?!?!? What would we do without these insights from this guy? Especially since his time is so valuable. We are blessed he can take time out of his busy life/workout to grant us his little nuggets of wisdom. He's the only one brave enough to give us the mantra ... "I like this thing, do you like this thing?" or just as poignant "I don't like this thing, do you not like thing too?"

I think that all of us, whether we live in North America or Equatorial Guinea, would do well to reflect today (and really every day) on the fact that we have to live in a world with white people even though they don't have our consent. And ask ourselves what we're doing to make sure future generations don't have to live in such an oppressive reality. It doesn't have to be this way, this system was forced on us.

They amplify fringe voices, frame debates to suggest a false equivalence in popularity and legitimacy, and pretend even the CCP believes in it and functions as the command economy and co-op workplaces envisioned by marxist texts. In reality, nobody wants this system except you, you stupid bitch. If you want to enslave people, you're going to have to resort to violence because nobody willingly wants to make their country a pile of 3rd world dogshit for a system that doesn't work. "Anti-communist propagandists" What? 99% of the planet? Quote:I'm sure it would be interesting to actually engage in a conversation about the concrete aspects and harm of Chinese imperialism and compare and contrast with Western imperialism, warranting the same amount of nuance for the former that is by default warranted to the latter, but for that to even be possible there needs to be one degree of intelectual curiosity and honesty. There it is. People that have brought up valid criticisms of the Chinese government's actions, which are largely mainstream and reasonable, and widely held critiques somehow lack "intellectual curiosity and honesty". Yeah, sure dude. Keep framing it as if you're the one with the reasonable opinion, and the rest of humanity is nuts. My house is haunted with machine elves, and your insistence that I'm not experiencing mystical shadow elves from the dark realm without properly examining the facts lacks intellectual curiosity and honesty. ![]()

I don't think it's an unrealistic standard or an unfair debate to have, and I also just don't feel the comparison you draw is fair..But when you consider the innocent people in cities in Japan who were killed so that the US could end the conflict quickly, it pales in comparison to the atrocities the Israel/Palestine conflict.
