It's really fucking insulting that Musk wore that "What Would Orwell Think?" shirt, itself Orwellian. Especially because we actually *know* what Orwell would think.
I've been reading a lot of Orwell's articles and letters from around 1939-1943 and it's really eerie just how much aligns. Orwell was writing for left-leaning newsletters that literally called themselves "anti-fascist" and was more afraid than anything about the world domination of fascism and nazi'ism.

We know what Orwell would think because Orwell was literally writing about many of the same things that are happening right now, just 90 years earlier. He's very clear about what he thinks, and when he writes, you realize just how many of the same things are happening *right now*.
It's right there. We know what Orwell would think. He wrote about it.

I'm thinking of writing a blogpost with excerpts of Orwell's writing from the period because it's incredibly prescient and eerie and insightful and I am learning a lot by reading it.

If you want to read what Orwell thought, there is a book written from this exact time frame prescient to this moment in history collecting Orwell's letters: "My Country, Left to Right"
I highly recommend getting a copy
EDIT: copy here https://orwell.ru/library/articles/My_Country/english/e_mcrol (thx @Greg ) though that's only of one of the letters. There's many others in the *book* "My Country, Left to Right"

@albertone Ah! Pensavo che i tedeschi vivessero nel futuro, in fatto di trasporti pubblici, ma effettivamente non son mai stato in Germania.
Io prendo il treno da più di 15 anni e come pendolare continuo a farlo per andare a Milano (lì in città non guiderei manco se mi pagassero).
Per tante altre situazioni, ho visto che l'auto mi fa arrivare meno stressato e costa pure meno. Cosa che non dovrebbe avere alcun senso, eppure...

@Moosader i think they should have an inverse wildcard match operator called "dislike"

Finisce a 120 miglia da Gaza il viaggio della #FreedomFlotilla. L'esercito israeliano ha attaccato il convoglio. Prima la Conscience, 92 persone, medici, giornalisti, attivisti, 18 tonnellate di cibo e una di farmaci salvavita, poi ha intercettato anche otto imbarcazioni più piccole
Una settimana fa la Global Sumud aveva portato in piazza milioni di persone, adesso la Conscience attraversa le stesse acque, lo stessa sorte ma nessuno ne parla. La soglia d'attenzione dura sette giorni
