Some excerpts from 1984:

"He looked round the canteen again. Nearly everyone was ugly, and would still have been ugly even if dressed otherwise than in the uniform blue overalls. On the far side of the room, sitting at a table alone, a small, curiously beetle-like man was drinking a cup of coffee, his little eyes darting suspicious glances from side to side. How easy it was, thought Winston, if you did not look about you, to believe that the physical type set up by the Party as an ideal-tall muscular youths and deep-bosomed maidens, blond-haired, vital, sunburnt, carefree -- existed and even predominated. Actually, so far as he could judge, the majority of people in Airstrip One were small, dark, and ill-favoured. It was curious how that beetle-like type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes. It was the type that seemed to flourish best under the dominion of the Party."

In other words, shortcels flourish in Oceania.

"He [Winston] disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthoxy."

Based commentary about the nature of the vile sex: women.

"Winston succeeded in transferring his hatred from the face on the screen to the dark-haired girl behind him. Vivid, beautiful hallucinations flashed through his mind. He would flog her to death with a rubber truncheon. He would tie her naked to a stake and shoot her full of arrows like Saint Sebastian. He would ravish her and cut her throat at the moment of climax."

This one is less based because Winston is doing a thoughtcrime and sexcrime, but I agree with the sentiment of wanting to harm women.

"The aim of the Party was not merely to prevent men and women from forming loyalties which it might not be able to control. Its real, undeclared purpose was to remove all pleasure from the sexual act. Not love so much as eroticism was the enemy, inside marriage as well as outside it. All marriages between Party members had to be approved by a committee appointed for the purpose, and—though the principle was never clearly stated—permission was always refused if the couple concerned gave the impression of being physically attracted to one another. The only rec- 84 1984 ognized purpose of marriage was to beget children for the service of the Party. Sexual intercourse was to be looked on as a slightly disgusting minor operation, like having an enema. This again was never put into plain words, but in an indirect way it was rubbed into every Party member from childhood onwards. There were even organizations such as the Junior Anti-Sex League, which advocated complete celibacy for both sexes. All children were to be begotten by artificial insemination (ARTSEM, it was called in Newspeak) and brought up in public institutions. This, Winston was aware, was not meant altogether seriously, but somehow it fitted in with the general ideology of the Party. The Party was trying to kill the sex instinct, or, if it could not be killed, then to distort it and dirty it. He did not know why this was so, but it seemed natural that it should be so. And as far as the women were concerned, the Party’s efforts were largely successful."

Incredibly based. Sex is on the verge of becoming illegal.

The world of 1984 is a result of some atomic conflict and subsequent revolution, but I like to imagine it was the incel rebellion and Winston is a faggot normie who gets tortured by incels for his thoughtcrimes and sexcrimes. I wish I lived in 1984 ngl. Whatevr the case, Orwell has in the past sympathized with the incel condition, writing the following in Down and Out in Paris and London, so it's not unbelievable Oceania underwent a virgin insurrection:

"It will be seen from these figures that at the charity level men outnumber women by something like ten to one. The cause is presumably that unemployment affects women less than men; also that any presentable woman can, in the last resort, attach herself to some man. The result, for a tramp, is that he is condemned to perpetual celibacy. For of course it goes without saying that if a tramp finds no women at his own level, those above—even a very little above—are as far out of his reach as the moon. The reasons are not worth discussing, but there is no doubt that women never, or hardly ever, condescend to men who are much poorer than themselves. A tramp, therefore, is a celibate from the moment when he takes to the road. He is absolutely without hope of getting a wife, a mistress, or any kind of woman except—very rarely, when he can raise a few shillings—a prostitute.

It is obvious what the results of this must be: homosexuality, for instance, and occasional rape cases. But deeper than these there is the degradation worked in a man who knows that he is not even considered fit for marriage. The sexual impulse, not to put it any higher, is a fundamental impulse, and starvation of it can be almost as demoralizing as physical hunger. The evil of poverty is not so much that it makes a man suffer as that it rots him physically and spiritually. And there can be no doubt that sexual starvation contributes to this rotting process. Cut off from the whole race of women, a tramp feels himself degraded to the rank of a cripple or a lunatic. No humiliation could do more damage to a man’s self-respect."

Brutal, desire the jew plan for your life pill...
 
orwell the prophet
 
It's funny how all sex being illegal is looked at as dystopia by normies ngl
 
And they never realize that incels basically live in real-life dystopia
Human nature tbh people don't really care or understand an issue completely until it personally affects them.
 
I think I'm also guilty of this.
Ofc tbh at the end of the day we being human are still subject to the same whims of human nature.
Other guys would be like us if they experienced what we did and I'm pretty sure of that tbh

Orwell was right about a lot of things in 1984 but completely missed the mark when it came to how the government would view sex
 
I too forgot pretty much everything about that book. I should read it again some day, because those are based quotes.

Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451 and The Pedestrian are way closer to today's reality tbh
Especially the reality tv show spectacles and targeting people in Fahrenheit 451.
Ray Bradbury doesn't get enough credit imo.

Fahrenheit 451: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13079982-fahrenheit-451

The Pedestrian:

Not to be too much of a hipster but it's too mainstream for my taste tbh
I like the Ray Bradbury books way better.
George Orwell 1984 is overrated in use as a literary example of what a totalitarian society is like tbh
although reddit "mocking" subs are like the digital equivalent of 2 minutes hate
What we have today is closer to inverted totalitarianism and a sousveillance/surveillance state imo.
