Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Just that I picked a random other one of theirs, today? It was basically just Huxley speaking. Crazy thing is? It was probably less than a month ago I sat and watched a fair sized chube presentation, juxtaposing him and Orwell! I mean, you couldn't make this shit up! Tell you what? They appear to have done endless shit. I'll look at another and see if I can discern a pattern. But, yeah; They're definitely railing against the way shits going down. And I'm not yet at all sure they're fukking wrong, either Anyway. Maybe tomorrow? That's some heavy shit to sit through. And I'm happier binge watching The Shield Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Wouldn't know about old school, mate. Older, yes. Device? Desktop machine on a 21" screen. Eyes and ears are far too shot for anything less. Stan; Huxley was very similar. They both envisaged a dystopian, totalitarian future. Only real difference was their views on how we'd get there. But, yeah; Orwell was more plain speaking. The masses could hear what he was saying more easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
