It’s totally lost on the leftists that this book is about them.

Yup. How is the act of reducing big government bringing in big brother? It does not compute.

You’re right!!!!

The old “1984” movies were about the leftists, too!!!!

And even this commercial is about thwarting the leftists, especially the professors that teach Frankfort School ideology:

Self awareness is not a dominant trait on the left. That would be rooted in rationality instead of emotion.

Maybe not. I think it's pure cynicism because the Left always accuses the Right of doing exactly what they're doing themselves. It's also proof that education has been selectively dumbed-down to indoctrinate students. When I studied Orwell there was no question about who Big Brother represented.

But you forget, sez Orwell, that to a leftist, black is white & up is down. Thus it follows that, to them, according to Big Brother speaking in their ear, that conservatives are, in fact, Big Brother.

It makes perfect sense.

But they’re the smartest people in the world, right? In any case, the more of them that read 1984, the better. Some of it has got to sink in eventually.

But then I had the same hope for Hunger Games. Maybe the left is just incapable of rational thought today. Hmmm...that could actually be supported by the available evidence I suppose.
