Ah yes, 1984 is when you don't have mantras plastered on the wall.

I wish they would read another book. Fahrenheit 451 is better anyway. In that book, it wasn't the government that started the book burning, it was minority groups crying about being offended by old media. Then they just went along with it to placate the masses
Way closer to a modern day dystopia imo

They didn't read 1984 to begin with.
Wall-e is unironically the best dystopian fiction they have actually engaged with, and they probably reject it as fatphobic.

Pipe Six is the better short story dystopia (things slowly get gayer and more r-slurred)

If they ever paint that highschool rainbow staircase from the meme video, THAT would be historic

one of the major big topics of politics th at I'm not sure I'm up to writing is:
some people perform this reduction, this act of reducing a performance to a performance, as if to make it mean nothing.
I think the root of this is seeing 'virtue signaling' in a lot of loosely empty leftist posturing.
but: the performance actually matters. Feeling like you have control of your environment actually matters.
so the validity of the act of putting words on a wall shouldn't be questioned; of course it's a performance, of course paint is just paint. it still matters.
of the things which come from Trumpism, the diversity words getting painted over is the least bothersome. let them have their wall. let them celebrate painting over it. it's only paint. it still matters.
these things are cyclical: in 10 years we could be painting words on it again. honestly I think that kind of thing is tacky but I'm a closet conservative in many ways. (the thing that offends me about Trumpism is his corruption and lack of integrity, not his political positions)

The fact that the FBI has a "core values" wall is beyond parody. The fact that it has compassion and fairness on it is even funnier.

Core values should be busting criminals (mostly by entrapment but still)
