Yeah trump isn't getting Greenland
>>18345883he wasn't wrong because he wasn't trying to present a realistic world mapthe world order was just a literary device used to display the incongruence of blind totalitarianism
>>18345992I mean he's pretty close. I was just kidding
>>18345883It's a North Korea situation, only Airstrip One was a dystopia. The rest of the world was fine.
>>18346135>I mean he's pretty closeNo he isn't, he wrote the book in 1949 and was clearly influence by early Cold War politics.
>>18346142>He's going through this phase
>>18345883It was just a super convoluted setup to get to the real point which was cuckold erotica.
>>18346142This. Real large totalitarian empires like the Soviets moved people to show them the capital and Potemkin projects for propaganda, officials were relocated far from their homelands so they don't develop ties with local communities. You would expect the party in Oceanea to do the same, but instead no one leaves their hometown, and no Americans, Australians etc. ever show up in London. Even dissidents who are arrested are never deported to far away camps, they are just kept in prisons in London.That's because Oceanea is just Britain at best.
>>18347047It wasn't LIKE that
I guess he hadn't quite grasped Britain's time was over
I think BNW is more realistic in the sense that nowadays state control needs hedonism way more that it needs totalitarian measures
>>18347410I think BNW is more realistic because it has tons of zones outside and not controlled by the state, and all the civilized world is basically in the EU
