It is a sarcastic observation of the shallow and reductive take that “nineteen eighty four is when the government does something i don’t like!”.
I find it less likely that anyone who uses lemmy would sincerely think it is actually good that people become parasocially addicted to a hallucination box that has been finely tuned to lie to them as convincingly as possible.
However, I admit this inference is doing a lot of gravy lifting; this is, after all, why Poe’s Law exists. There are so very many excessively dim, narrow-minded, and ignorant people who WOULD indeed unironically cry “1984!!” whenever any government does anything that such a person being right here, right now, is always a statistically significant possibility that cannot be dismissed out of hand without risk.
I am giving the person to whom you are replying a generous benefit of a doubt, to be fair…
I can’t get past the way the path leading to the door runs directly into a sheer wall of dirt >_>
i could be reading some fucking manuals right now instead of lemmy…


Why aren’t these chuds fearing for their lives? Why aren’t they being dragged out into the street and strung up by their own intestines? I thought this world was supposed to defend freedom. Guess not.
