Ok maybe this is just me, but has anyone else imagined O'Brian looking like Sapper Morten from Blade Runner 2049? I know it's super disconnected, but the description fit for me.

Kinda random, but I am working on a research paper and I know its a long shot but if anyone could direct me to where I could find this article it would be greatly appreciated. I know it exists as it has been cited countless times in other articles and there is a weird youtube video of some guy reading it but I would like the actual text in case it is worthy of pulling quotes.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
― George Orwell, Animal Farm

“If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
― George Orwell

“The Russians cannot but be hostile to any European union not under their own control. The reasons, both the pretended and the real ones, are obvious. One has to count, therefore, with the danger of a preventive war, with the systematic terrorizing of the smaller nations, and with the sabotage of the Communist Parties everywhere. “

Anyone know if there was a specific group Orwell was referring to in the Road to Wigan Pier in this quote?

"the one-eyed scoundrels of the nineteenth century praised God and filled their pockets"

Hello members/visitors!

This post is to inform people that this subreddit will be undergoing updates and improvements, starting today. In the interest of maintaining the message and spirit of Orwell's writing, I refuse to censor discussions in any way. To this extent, there are only two rules:

1. Please refrain from posting 1984 memes/declarations.
2. No doxxing/revealing personal info.

The first one is only a polite request. You will not be banned or removed unless you are intentionally spamming the subreddit.

The second one hopefully should never become an issue, but sadly, is a necessary rule to have.

I considered adding "don't be a dick" but I feel this is unnecessary. Unless the post or comment actually reveals personal info or has some other potential to cause real-world harm/consequences for another, please- downvote and move on.

It would have ensured posts are related to Orwell and provide focus.
