Uncomfortable Orwell | |

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Text taken from an article posted in politumor.ru Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics. [ColonelCassad] Western liberals have set out to ban the works of George Orwell because his work makes them feel "uncomfortable".
The biographer pointed out that Orwell was a brilliant writer, but a complex man whose personal life was at odds with the "decency" of his works. Biographer Anna Funder believes that Eileen O'Shaughnessy, as Orwell's wife, made a significant contribution to the writer's work, including helping to write Animal Farm. According to Funder, the darkness that reigns in "1984" reflects Orwell's state of mind. Comment: There is no limit to the biographer’s flight of fancy, which the classic himself would probably be very surprised by. "Integrity is a key Orwellian value. He wanted to be decent, wanted to be considered decent, by which he meant an honest person, the same inside and out," writes Funder. What follows is a pirouette that "Orwell was extremely homophobic, he was very attracted to men, and I think he was not particularly interested in women sexually." However, Telegraph readers do not pay too much attention to the fruits of the imagination of the biographer of the writer's wife. Their opinion in the comments is quite categorical. "The Ministry of Truth is trying to cancel George Orwell." "This is worse than we could have imagined." "Orwell was right. Now do you see how it works?" Comment: There is no doubt that after reading an article slandering George Orwell, even more people will show a desire to read his works. True, if by that time the writer is not completely banned, and his books are not confiscated and destroyed. Jokes aside, but now Orwell is very relevant and topical, while his Ingsoc is very reminiscent of the modern Western world of distorting mirrors. That's how I looked into the future. Previously, "1984" was called a dystopia, but it turned out to be a prediction about the future. Something like our “children’s book” by Nosov “Dunno on the Moon”. Therefore, with all the specific features of his work, the study of Orwell is extremely important for understanding where the West was going and where it eventually came.

#3 I like using the term "double plus ungood" but certain people have told me I shouldn't. Apparently it has become politically incorrect. I don't care. I like the way it sounds. I like the way it mocks the politically correct and makes them nervous so I plan to keep using it. |

#2 Anyone who has a problem with Orwell is a totalitarian. Always be anti-totalitarian. |

#1 It is generally not known that Orwell, AKA Frank R., escaping his POUM (Partido Obrero de Unificacion Marxista) unit, showed up in Barcelona in December 1936. His later works indicate that he had broken with the Marxists. He was seen in the company of the United States Consul active in Barcelona. And the United States may actually have paid his way to return to northern Europe. To my knowledge no one has ever investigated in the Archives of the United States this unusual series of events. |
