Last answer. I'll let you alone with your shit after that.

You didn't say "the left", you said "political". Not sure why you expect me to address what you mean and not what you said. Also Orwell wrote a whole book critical of Communism called Animal Farm so...

His books don't talk about left and right but about control of the powerful over the people through manipulation and language transformation.

There is no political stance in Orwell's work concerning economical regulation, market or anything like this. It's only about institution, language and freedom.

Can't do better than to give the quote explicitely saying "his books doesn't talk about left or right".

Who said anything about jail? Can you even remember your own statements from one moment to the next? Your whole post is just irrelevant, period.

My bad here, I'm not 100% English fluent. Wrote jail as a synonim of "scrutiny".

Your interpretation of 1984 is a stretch at best. Frankly I doubt you have ever read it.

I don't give a fuck what you doubt.

Orwell doesn't need to be blatantly for right or left to describe tactics the left are very thoroughly abusing.

There is a tremendeous difference between "criticizing a left tactic" and "criticizing a tactic that the left is currently using" and if you can't see it I can't do anything for you.

It is alarming because it means he is actively unwilling to view any information that does not reaffirm his already currently held belief system. This is dangerous because these people then essentially become puppets for the media.

You're talking like YOU are not subjected to confirmation bias. It's not surprising you think yourself above this. You're not.

Since they are unhinged and excuse violence, this is a real physical threat not only to people who disagree with them, but the entire nation as this pattern of denial of reality combined with the excusing of violence will lead to civil war. The media will continue to hype people up with lies, the left will go too far, and some one on the right will defend themselves and the left will again form more mobs to demand retribution regardless of who is at fault. Then a feedback loop of violence will erupt. That is why this is alarming.

P.S. Speak for yourself. Some of us work very hard at making sure we get diverse views on information. Not all of us are as lazy and uniformed as you, stop making excuses for your ignorance and do something to change it. No one is going to spoon feed you the truth, you have to seek it. Anything blasted in your face has some kind of agenda that is not in your personal interests, because that is the job of the media, to hide embarrassing truths and sell comfortable lies.

Yeha I know I will never be at the level of godly TECSHARE who has read everything, understood everything, and keeps himself informed from all political sides in an unbiased way.

That's all for me. Bye.

Nope. I just tend to not stick my nose into subjects I don't already understand unlike you. There is a difference between pretending to understand and actually understanding, maybe you will figure that out some day.
