My controversial opinion is that Player Piano is a much better and more realistic dystopia than 1984

@@michaelh13 not read it but I’m gonna buy it, thanks!

@@ThisIsRiky Hope you enjoy it :)

MrRussianGerman have you read animal farm, if not I highly recommend that next....

As much as I prefer 1984 as a book, Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ which influenced Orwell, is much closer to today’s society if you ask me. Check this quote that sums it up: “What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.”

Most of us have a screen in every room. And then some.. But unlike Orwell’s for telling, we actually want them their.

@@llsspp That's kinda true, although Orwell believed that Huxley's dystopia would not stop there, and the logical consequence of such dystopia, would be to get to his more extreme full control dystopia

Reading AND Understanding in russian will be a life quest 😁

It's a huge problem for the Church, as the Bible in the original Greek, especially the Gospel of John, is a completely different experience.

underrated comment

Maybe because it’s not as popular as Dostoievsky.

This is the description I have been trying to piece together in my head

He’s a deep introvert. It’s always exhausting to talk for introverts

I've been trying to encourage everyone I know to watch yuri Bezmenov's interviews, especially before any more are removed. He's such an important figure to know!

Couldn’t agree more

The Brothers Karamazov is way up there for me. Along with Henry Miller's Rosy Crucifixion Trilogy & Tropic Of Capricorn & Celine's Death On The Installment Plan & Journey To The End Of The Night.

@@bschuler6216 I had time, long ago, when I was reading all 10 volumes of Dostoevsky and started at the beginning the next day. The number 4 is Gogol, but they have so many similarities with Bulgakov. Bulgakov took a lot from Gogol. Another one is Solgenizun, which should be learned in schools like suggesting Jordan Peterson.

Idk if that’s from something But I believe that Russia was planned to be what China is today but now moved over to China to be the one to bring a world government

And also Sweden because that’s where literally all the “world” business groups are located Like the UN, the world economic forum And all the “great” companies trying to bring us the nwo
