1984

The ending of the book where Winston Smith picks up a gun and shoots his way to a free future isn't there because George Orwell would be the first to tell you that the very idea is shittingly nonsense.

You should read about the American Revolution sometime. ;)

It's STILL not in 1984. George Orwell still chose not to end it that way.

Ummmkay. What's your point? That the year is 2021? Conceded. Or are you trying to claim gun control isn't about control?

You're chiming in on a meme about 1984 and gun control. 1984 was not a "guns fight tyranny" book. I'm not sure where you got confused but that's where we're at.

Oookay. Are you a HS senior or a freshman in college?

Who cares? You're chiming in on a meme about 1984 and gun control. 1984 was not a "guns fight tyranny" book. Where are you getting confused?

You care. Were your lips moving as you typed? Correct, 1984 was about tyranny. Maybe if they had guns there'd be no tyranny. Why don't they have guns, kid?

Then why didn't George Orwell write that they should have had guns? It's not something that George Orwell chose to put in his book BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE MISSED THE ENTIRE POINT.

Your exuberance over this is interesting. Are you sweating finals, kid?

Eh?

Smith was screwed the moment they took him into Room 101. That doesn't stop revolutionaries from working underground to overthrow tyranny.

Seriously? The entire point of that entire part of the book was exactly that it stopped revolutionaries from working underground to throw tyranny!!!! Have you even read it?

Yes. Why do you have cognitive dissonance? The Soviets and the PRC did the same thing trying to stomp out religion. It didn't work. Not because it's religion but because people will keep trying.

BUT IT'S NOT IN THE BOOK. GEORGE ORWELL DIDN'T PUT IT IN HIS BOOK.

Duh. No kidding. Why are you so excited over this?

You're the one bringing it up again after like a year. Just read the book. It doesn't even take that long to read.

Read the book before you were born, kid.

Well, your understanding of the text isn't showing.

Your understanding of the meme is totally lacking.

I think you missed the point. Maybe when you take a college level course on it then you will understand.

europe is made of tyrannical states because their gun laws are better than the us's

European culture is used to being ruled by kings, dictators and socialist councils. They rarely think on their own. It's why the US has led the way of the world for the past 100 years. I fear we're losing that edge by those seeking to make us "more like Europe".

europeans eventually revolt against oppressive rulers. if modern day europe is as oppressive as you seem to believe, why arent the people complaining about their healthcare system protecting them from going bankrupt, or labour unions protecting worker's rights? why are the only people complaining grifters and gullible people who believe in grifter's lies?

europe laughs at the us and how far behind it is on social issues and public protection, they say theyre shocked when they discover the richest country on earth doesnt provide its citizens free healthcare or try to protect its citizens, its children, from gun violence

The same Euros which drove so many immigrants to America...and still do?

damn the french and that statue of liberty inviting immigrants to come and make a better life for themselves. now we have to purposefully misinterpret crime data and lie more than usual!!!

The French screwed up their own revolution by swapping a monarchy for a dictatorship.

did you scroll all the way through the politics page to year old memes to make this random reply?

It popped up. If you are upset, I recommend a glass of water and a Midol.

old memes pop up for people?

For the best. Everyone now knows how you rate.
