Hot Takes/Unpopular opinions

There is always something we disagree with the majority. So here’s a thread to talk about it.

Mine is this: :marsey1984: is an overrated, over quoted above average book, not bad, but far from being a masterpiece. Animal farm is Orwell’s best work of fiction and Brave New World is a much superior and plausible dystopia. 1984 style oppression is just hyperbole.

It could be about characters too. Here’s one from “the Great Gatsby”

Tom wasn’t a bad guy. He was a proto poltard :chudsmug: but so were many upper class burgers back then (pseudoscientific racist bullshit was fashionable then). His actions towards Gatsby are reasonable, no way anyone would act politely towards a strange weird guy giving lavish parties simping for your wife. He cucked Daisy and Daisy cuked him, definitely made for each other.

I always loved how poetic he made the act of calling them shitty people

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made...

I can think of so many people that could be described this way nowadays :marseynoooticer:

Such a great quote. They remind me of Alec Baldwin and other modern celebs.

Nick was kind of weird in respect to Gatsby though, his narration was almost an Hagiography.

Great Gatsby is Titanic for men but vaguely disguised as a piece about high society of the time
