    All parts. Guess you want to decide what's drivel and not drivel. Were you in charge of something in the AF there airman? Well sorry captain you are not in charge of squat here. Re up if you need that adulation.

    My "drivel" will continue so at ease there captain.

    this is cliche these days. What does that meme mean? Everyone calls something else Orwellian like everyone calls someone else Nazis.

    Orwell is probably thinking in that meme that no one really fucking gets it.

    People here also might want to read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

    One of the most ridiculous books I've ever read (and I've read many), by a really mediocre writer. I can see, though, how it appeals to greed-based simpletons.

    Try "The Brothers Karamazov" by Dostoyevsky. Best book ever by the best storyteller ever.... although my affinity for Russians has really taken a nosedive lately.

    Well no book should be the basis for your political philosophy. However it’s important to be well and widely read taking information from a broad range of sources.
    Reading or listening only to people you agree with narrows the mind and leaves on with blinders. At least read what your opponents wrote to better understand how to counter their argument.

    Exactly why I read Atlas Shrugged.

    The gun grabbing, disregard for babies in the womb and totalitarian Marxist mindset you display here I suggest the book below is more suited for you. I totally understand your negative opinion of Ayn Rand and Geoge Orwells writing go against your beliefs.

    No one who really understands and appreciates Orwell would ever find themselves wearing a MAGA hat.
