The greatest irony about 1984 is the the bulk of the concepts in it like "memory holes", "doublethink", "room 101", perpetual war ect. ect. were directly inspired from Orwell working in a British propaganda ministry during WW2. NOT THE SOVIET UNION. Orwell never even visited the Soviet Union and had an admiration for Hitler. Everything else in the book is literally just a rehash of tired old anti-communist memes from the 1930s.
In my opinion, the best thing about this election is the permanent destruction of Joe Biden's reputation and legacy. All he had to do was not run and he could have still retired with an army of libs fawning over him.
But because of his and his family's hubris, he will be forever known as the "dementia president". Just like Taft is the "fat president who got stuck in a bathtub" and Nixon is the "corrupt crook president" Biden will forever be known for being the only nominee to be forced out by his own party due to dementia. Even ultra blueMAGA types have acknowledged this. I honestly think that in like 30 years my future children will be learning about that time we had a senile president. (Assuming the USA still even exists)
And that miserable piece of excrement deserves it 100%. I've seen a lot of leftists over the years (even some hexbear and Chapo) say things like "he should be retired and golfing". HELL NO! Joe Biden is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people at a minimum (probably millions if you include the Iraq War and Libya). He is directly responsible for genocide and has defended the most nakedly genocidal fascist state for decades. Even domestically, he was an abysmal turd who shilled for corporations his entire life and supported segregation, greatly accelerated the drug war, supported the Patriot Act, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. At a minimum he should be rotting in a dark dungeon with Hillary, Cheney, Obama, Bush, Trump, and the rest of the demons.
I genuinely hope that before he croaks, he has the final realization that all he will ever be known for is being the "dementia president".
Words cannot describe how much I now loathe the spineless POS, Bernie Sanders. Which is astounding considering how I basically worshiped him back in 2015/2016.
All this fucker had to do was announce his presidency after Biden's corpse announced it was not running and he would hold the entire Democratic party by the balls. Seriously, what would the Democrats do? Rig the primaries again? Then threaten to run as an independent and kick them a kick in the balls permanently.
It boggles my mind how the entire "Left" in the Democratic party have been caving nonstop for several years now while the party dived to the right and fully endorses genocide and Trump's border wall. Bernie and the rest of the Squad weaklings couldn't even have the basic decency to call out the most televised genocide in Human history. I wonder what libs in 2015/2016 would think if you told them that in just a few short years the Democratic party would be entirely behind Trump's border wall.
I'm now 100% convinced that AOC and the others would be demanding the left to vote for Hindenburg instead of the Communists if they were around in 1930s Germany.
So this might end up being cope, but I'm starting to think we are seeing a modern version of the Battle of the Bulge happen in Kursk.
At first, it seems like a major L for Putin as the thinly guarded Russian border is overwhelmed by what looks like another PR stunt by Ukraine. But after a couple of days it becomes obvious that this is actually a major offensive by Ukraine. As Ukraine pours in thousands of troops from the Donbass front into Kursk. We are now getting reports that Ukraine planned to go much further into Kursk than they did and possibly wanted to capture the nuclear plant in Kurchatov to do some kind of nuclear blackmail to force Russia to make major concessions.
This obviously isn't working as their incursion been halted/severely slowed down. Sure it's another propaganda W, but they are taking massive casualties, while simultaneously weakening the Donbass front and failing to force the withdrawal of substantial Russian forces from Donbass. Even Ukraine NAFO cheerleaders aren't happy about this one.
So Ukraine now has to choices: Option A is to double down and pray they can hold out and make some gains and remove some Russian troops from the Donbass. Or option B which is to cut their losses and take the L (Ironically what Hitler did several decades ago during the Battle of Kursk).
Either way is would be some kind of poetic irony if the modern Kursk battle ended up being the nail in the coffin for the Kiev regime just like the 1943 battle of Kursk was described as the "last gasp of Nazi aggression" for Germany.
NGL, watching insufferable radlibs and BlueMAGA types eat their own shit is pretty enjoyable.
This is what you get you you rally behind the decrepit husk in charge of a decaying genocidal empire.
BLUEMAGA is in shambles right now.
I'm not religious at all. But seeing decaying husks like Lindsey Graham and his ilk go to Ukraine and demand that 18 year old's be drafted and sent to die in the trenches for the Empire's proxy wars genuinely makes me want to believe in some kind of Biblical eternal torment.
It bothers me greatly that Arab countries are doing virtually nothing beyond making empty statements about the Gaza genocide.
Post Soviet Russia has many L's but even they had the foresight to intervene in Ukraine and Georgia before they were able to launch their genocides.
Looks like a Russian won a Nobel prize and Swedish libs are having a normal one. One "reporter" asked the committee why they gave Alexei I. Ekimov a prize while evil Putler is waging a war in Ukraine, even though Ekimov has lived in the USA for like 20 years. Luckily the committee member gave a pretty solid response.
After the war is over, there is going to be a quiet trickle of articles about how the war crimes Ukraine accused Russia of were actually committed by Ukraine. It wouldn't surprise me if one year from now the MSM finally acknowledges that the Azov battalion caused Bucha.
I've noticed that in the past couple of years, especially since the whole Ukraine thing, that there is a skyrocketing amount of concern trolling from the U.S. government and Russian guasanos that Russia is becoming a Chinese colony. I've seen multiple YT videos from CIA funded channels like Infographics about how "China is Russia's real enemy".
This is extraordinarily ironic because America literally directs the foreign policy of its EU vassal states. Like they can't even do business with other countries if America does not consent.
Imagine being a Ukraine supporter right now and watching America completely forget about Ukraine and focus on Israel.
Looks like the "tankies" were once again proven to be correct when we said that this conflict wasn't about freedumb.
