How did Orwell predict the modern world so accurately?

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
>>544830387He didn't, they copied. Its why they are struggling now. No one to grab onto once they become the host / leader.They dont learn anything. They just do because they dont know what they are doing or why they are doing it. The biggest fallacy the world has, is believing rich people are smart.
>>544830387He didn't. 1984 is a combination of understatements, hyperbole and ignorance of sociology.Society at large will only comprehend how bad it is - or was - in 30-50 years or so, if white people happen to be still around.There's also this paradigm I invented:>reality is always worse than fictionThe worst anybody can imagine either has been surpassed already, is being surpassed, or will be surpassed. Imagination doesn't operate in a vacuum and without safeguards. Try to imagine getting tortured. Yup, the real thing will be worse. No amount of edge is going to cut it.

>>544830387>trump called the news fake but he's fake, we are truly living in the aminal farm from wigan pier
>>544830387This book was just a more on the nose homage to Trotsky than animal farm
>>544830387He described the present with slightly better technology, then technology got better
>>544830387He just ripped off Yevgeny Zamyatin's book WE
>>544830387>Grow up around rich jews>listened to rich jews talk>put pen to paperIt's not really that surprising.
