Miso Soup for the Liberal's Soul.....from George Orwell:

[marmar]

"It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact."

1. I love miso soup

Living the actualization of Orwell's fiction, not so much.

3. Although Orwell is long gone

His writings are even more fresh and relevant today than they were in 1934
