why?
- toxican 10y agoBecause America is an Orwellian hellhole, gawd, haven't you read animal house 84?!
- che_shirecat 10y agothe number of people missing the sarcasm in your post is worrying
- grzm 10y agoBecause it's being down voted? I think any down votes are more likely because the comment doesn't add substantively to the conversation and is distracting given other recent threads.
- masukomi 10y agoum. if you are basing your logic on orwelianness then the England should be your your top candidate. massive monitoring of the populace, severe restrictions on the ability to carry anything that is vaguely pointy or goes bang, poor freedom of speech rules (relative to the US).... I love England but as far as orwellian societies go, you can do notably worse than the US.
- oneeyedpigeon 10y agoAs someone living in England, I can confirm that a) we are an extreme surveillance society, which the general population neither really understands, nor cares about b) the vast majority of us are very grateful we don't have (legalised) guns on the streets, and we suffer from a much lower homicide rate as a result
- tbarbugli 10y agoI did, as far as I remember these book are all about USSR ;)
