    Lately, whenever anyone draws the obvious parallels to 1984, posters seem to jump to say that Orwell had unsavoury beliefs and therefore it negates any correct thing he ever said.

    It’s such a weird world where we decide someone must be 100% correct by today’s standards or else everything they ever said must be complete bunk.

    All of our historical heroes were assholes by today’s standards, and we will be assholes in the eyes of our descendants.
