1984. Thoughts on the book getting a Woke makeover?

[Leopard23]

[Exterminatore]

That quote is exactly what is happening and anyone with an IQ of 10 or higher can see it.


The leftist hate America. I heard Rush Limbaugh say that like 20 years ago and laughed hysterically and mocked him, well the joke was on me. He couldn’t have been more right. These people hate what America stands for and they hate traditionalism. Most of all they hate God and Christianity. They want to completely eradicate all three. They call this progress. These people are moral degenerates, brainwashed, and did not have much intelligence to start with which is why they were so easily brainwashed.


They change the meanings of words like gender and tolerance and those who follow their philosophies don’t even bat an eye. They swallow it all up hook, line and sinker.


Fear not. If they do not repent they will face the wrath and judgment of God. Some in this life and all in the next. Pretty little liars that they are.


Gender now means: the degree of masculinity and femininity a person displays NOT their SEX AS IT ALWAYS HAS MEANT SINCE THE WORD ENTERED THE English LANGUAGE.


Tolerance now means: ACCEPT US AND AGREE WITH US OR YOU ARE A HATE MONGER, HOMOPHOBE, XENOPHOBE, NATIVIST, RACIST, SEXIST, OR IMPERIALIST. Tolerance has always meant to tolerate, and in action is the allowance of and coexistence with people who hold different view or are different from yourself.

Classic books - don't alter them. It best reflects the time period it was written. And it is important we recognize our views are not always correct or better than in the past either.

What if we alter/remove statues becuase we deem it wrong based on todays views - but maybe 50 or 100+ years from now people say our views are worng - but because we already desteoyed the origionals and made them under what we felt was syitable - the origional ideas or art or people are then lost woth the passage of time for future generations to learn about.

[21Cowboy21]

Tearing down statues / banning books / desteoying art that doesn't fit a certain religious or political view - these are all examples of things that may be in a state of change if they are write or wrong.

If we tesr down everything a few people always dont agree with - there will never be a stopping point for what is or is not to be censored.

If someone doesn't like a book or idea - they dont have to read / study / observe it. If they do they can. Simple as that.

[21Cowboy21]

And for statues of known racists or murders - did these people not also commit good and bring value to the world as well. Most people have both good and bad qualities about them. And people can see the same person in different ways. We should not tear down controversial figures simply because they did actions that may be normal in their time periods stsndards but not in our own 2000 years later.

Was ghandi not amaizng for peaceful protests? Was ghandi also not a racust at the same time to Africans? - truth is he was both at the same time. We should not alter his story in any way. Its important for people to recognize that someone cna be both at the same time - make of it what you will, and that life art and stories are not black and white hardly ever. Most things are in fact a mixed bag - and its up to each person to make of it what they will

[21Cowboy21]

An example is a statue of president Eisenhower in america - did he not kill possibly dozens of people, and order an incomprehensable amount of innocent citizens to be killed in the name of the war effort and the grester good - yes. Did he not also take down the nazi party and bring peace to america - yes. Should we delete him from hisyory 1000 years from now if they view all murder as bad even yhough we may not feel that eay today?

I don't know much about that book. but it's stupid to rewrite a book just cause you don't agree with.

[Echosoul]

The right wing, who are usually the ones complaining about 'woke', clearly don't understand 1984. Removing a statue because it glorifies a criminal isn't altering history.

History is still known just understood that it tends to be written with a bias towards those with power. E. g. Columbus painted as heroic.

This is paranoia, not 1984.

[Leopard23]

Orwell rightly described what happens when left wing extremists take over. If you are going to start removing statues where do we stop. Columbus made a heroic vodge across the Atlantic, it would be like going to the moon today. Like many figures from the past he wasn't perfect.

[InsecureLivesMatter]

And George Orwell is not the right's hero by any means

[Leopard23]

@InsecureLivesMatter never said he was. But to rewrite this to suit I mean cmon

[Leopard23]

@gorydetails gets it

[BeMuse]

Communist are retarded devil worshiping homosexuals. Their entire purpose is to bring darkness and death on the land.

[BeMuse]

The Satanic Temple is trying to open abortion clinics where abortions are part of a satanic ritual. If that doesn't tell you where the commies heads are at I don't know what would. When they kill your kid and sacrifice it to the flames in a medical waste facility it goes unnoticed, but now it's out in the open with abortion bans. Now they are acively trying to use their religious freedoms to sacrifice children via abortion in their temples with all the satanic symbolism and rituals included. Real sick fucks.

[inhua]

nobody is going to guy that book when it goes woke

[gorydetails]

The absolute most 1984 thing that could happen to 1984

[InsecureLivesMatter]

I don't care but George Orwell was a radical leftist just like Marx and MLK

[ThomasDavid1989]

I think we are living 1984, with trump and the republicans, in charge.

God help us

[Sevenpointfive]

maybe they'll called it THICK SISTA
