George Orwell is more relevant than ever, to be honest. His commitment to truth and freedom should be the proper cornerstones of any intellectually and morally conscientious individual, and the fact that even after George Orwell politically minded people can still operate by an ends justifies the means policy is a despairing one. George Orwell literally exposed the disingenuous, the deceitful and the hypocrites, the people who flourish around us today deluding themselves that they are doing the right thing. If honesty and integrity are to be tipped at, you can tip your fedora on tumblr, you moral relativist, cunt practitioner of sophist memes.

Alas! You certainly will be attacked for your views, but that simply emphasizes the truth of what you have spoken! There is nothing that upsets the slave more than being told he can simply break free of his chains! A finer post I have never found on this website, one of the last true bastions of free speech.

I didn't have 1984 in mind. Homage to Catalonia is more to the point. I appreciate your kneejerk reaction to elevate yourself into a superior posture to anything you encounter. The fact remains, though, that you're a fucking dumb cunt.

Is there anything actually more fedora worthy than meme posting? The people I knew through high school who took enjoyment in memes -- "you lost the game!" -- were the epitome of fedora. One of them literally came in wearing one once, although he insisted it was a trilby. You have anonymity to protect you, you know, and we judge your posts on the merit of your posts alone, although they have none, but if we could see the grander picture, what would emerge would surely be the image of a deeply pathetic loser. Instead, certainty of that knowledge is yours alone.

To do something ironically is to do something in a half hearted ashamed manner. To avoid doing it because others do it and therefore it's cringeworthy is cowardly and weak. I'd be more embarrassed to be using meme arrows, which are monopolized upon by the braindead like you, who can't communicate effectively and struggle to form coherent sentences. Be honest, to be honest, and it's pretty clear the entire makeup of your kind is insecurity, stupidity and cowardice.

I'm responding to posts responding to me. That is how a discussion progresses. I recognise that you and a lot of other posters apparently seem to believe 4chan is a vacuum in which no one discusses anything and everyone just shouts their opinion, the one with the dankest memes shouting loudest, and that is a thread, with posters bouncing from thread to thread just shouting their uninformed opinions often not even considered and just posted for the sake of posting. No wonder you and posters like you are baffled. You should try contributing high quality posts and engaging in discussion; it's enriching.
