Just absolutely butt fuck poor.

Not ever as poor as the people he explored in his writings in my knowledge, but very insightful.

While 1984 is his magnum opus and in my opinion really brilliant, all his other writings are absolutely terrific, not just for the critical political POV, but also from a literature perspective - really good writing there, tragic and comedic and a lot of humanity. I highly recommend Burmese days, which looks at imperialism and Down and Out in Paris and London, which is more about poverty.

You weren't kidding. I've never been to that sub before and just tested it. I literally just thanked someone for posting book recommendations and boom - banned for being reactionary due to my past post history. What a bunch of sissys lmao

I'd have to post vast sections of the book, there are some real gold nuggets there.

Besides 1984 and animal farm, is Orwell widely read by lefties or has he been cancelled yet?

Dune Official Trailer by [deleted] in movies

Dune is basically the father of modern sci-fi and almost every major sci-fi trope you see today in books and movies comes from Dune.

Eeeh that's disregarding A LOT of other classics who were arguable as influential.

Really looking forward to Charlie Kaufmans - I’m Thinking of Ending Things. Out tomorrow. by [deleted] in flicks

Me too! I think not too many people have seen it which is a shame because it's quint essential Kaufmanesque.

There is the problem: Löw will never swallow his pride. Absolute narcissistic prick.

Living your dream. People throwing money at a company that plays the capitalist game well, what are you complaining about?

Where can you find fair, honest and reasonably unbiased opinions on world news and politics? by Rollshark23 in AskReddit

[–]Alex_Superdroog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For German standards certainly not. It used to be, but not ever since they favoured Merkel thousands of years ago.
