I don't know what Kafkaesque means and I do know what Orwellian means so imma hafta go with Kafkaesque

[-] RedDawn@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

It means reminiscent of the works of Franz Kafka, especially the Trial. The main character is put on trial by a nightmarish bureaucracy and never really even knows what he's accused of or how he's supposed to comply with the court's procedure which is also unclear, I think he ends up getting executed. It's a good word for describing how it feels living in America sometimes. Probably better than Orwellian since Orwell kind of sucks and the word itself seems mostly used by chuds for all the wrong stuff.
