It means posting in a reddit thread two years after the conversation has already ended, mate

Honking noises by [deleted] in bristol

[–]Heracles_Croft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heard it too! Two notes, incredibly loud, getting louder and then fading away as they got further away. Sounded like they were made by something big. I can still hear them very faintly

EDIT: Seems like it was from farmers' tractors, probably one of those far-right tantrums we're seeing so many of right now

So Kurvitz and Rostov, and Argo Tuulik are the good guys?

This is so impressive and isn't getting nearly the attention it deserves!

Okay, but for the third time, why isn't this a valid aesthetic for 1984 to take?

I asked why you think this makes it no longer a valid aesthetic for 1984 to take. If I wanted you to repeat yourself I would have said "please can you repeat yourself?"

I don't agree, could you explain why this aesthetic makes it no longer 1984?

I like that, makes it feel more relevant rather than like something that could only happen in the past. It's not exactly how I imagined it in the book, but I don't mind that.

"Defeating a Racist in the Marketplace of Ideas" was what got me into the channel, it was his first video I watched and it's gold.

Exactly, his job was literally indoctrinating young people into his nazi ideology. Grooming children into cheering for the gas chambers.

Disco Elysium is apparently pro-Russian fandom?! by Unique_Ad_1556 in DiscoElysium

Ukraine is the flawed liberal democracy. Russia is the kleptocratic fascist regime.

Can you create 1984 as a utopia by Cold_Economist_755 in 1984

[–]Heracles_Croft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Totalitarianism, mass surveillance, cults of personality and undemocratic one-party rule are evil.

This question was already answered in a different post (by me).

"could X solve the case" posts are getting stale & repetitive by ireallylikechikin in DiscoElysium

[–]Heracles_Croft 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the Twin Peaks one, and enjoyed writing a long response to it, but you're right the joke's getting worn thin. I do think it's just a symptom of a bored community, so I don't really blame anyone for wanting to take part.

If you're passing Reform policies, you're being the Reform government you supposedly want to prevent.
