Orwell was right, just forty years early . . .

1984 is a manual
Idiocracy is a documentary
Liberals are a diseased specimen

1984 was a commentary on life in 1948, the year was published, in London.
If it was published the year after, the title would have been 1994.

Idiocracy was a commentary on the W Bush Jr Administration.

Surprised you forgot the third Righty's go-to misreferred to story, They Live, which was a commentary on the Reagan Era.

Rowdy Roddy Piper was great in that film

One of a kind. Truly missed.

Great artwork there, is that yours?
It'll be a long time before Orwell's foreshadowing is matched, the book is borderline genius. The part which I find to be the most disturbing is how Winston feared the children. They were completely indoctrinated. Cancel you in a heartbeat, without thought, total allegiance. Sound familiar?

No, it is not my art...possibly AI? As far as the "Cancel you in a heartbeat, without thought, total allegiance. Sound familiar?"....now, that is the truth of the day!

I am so glad you are back, Dan! Are you ok?

Hi vBackman, thanks so much, I appreciate you. I'm good, just needed some time off to "find myself"lol-
Was feeling like my meming was getting stale, and it was also starting to feel more like a chore... if you know what I mean. Just needed to take some time off to think things over and try some new things... Not because of physical ailments this time, but for my mental health hahaha
Not surprisingly, I ended up back here where I belong. I may not meme quite as often as I used to, but I have missed it, and I hope to be around somewhat regularly. I'm also a big fan of yours and will keep in touch. Thanks again for caring friend .

That is great news cuz I was so fearful you were having medical issues again and I didn't want that for you or for your followers and I am one of them. Geez, even Modda missed you as you have a lot of people who care about you.

You just needed a break and I totally understand that and so glad you got a recharge. You are a mentally sound person living in an Idiocracy right now and that can be extremely frustrating. It's not you, Dan, it is THEM. :)

Ditto! 🤠👍

Hey, let's beginning to wonder,,,,

Hey Modda, how's it going. I'm good thanks. Since I went (well) passed the age of 50, I've suffered the various health ailments associated with getting old. That did slow me down for awhile, but I think I'm pretty well recovered now. This time it was different though- I just felt like I was'nt in the right headspace for meming anymore- I just needed a break. So I thought it over, and hopefully came up with a new outlook to help rekindle my will to meme... also I suspect I'm most likely on several government watch lists of those who they would like to silence, so I wanted to wait until the "tide had turned" so to speak- which I believe it now has lol!😉 Keep on meming!

I hear ya, I've gotten to where things no longer get sore, they just crack!

Thanks to my accute inability to concentrate, I have a tendency to go elsewhere, sometimes midway through typing a response! Like I'll then go looking for prehistoric stuff, and end up reading one thing that leads to another and another... and by the time I'm done, I've not found exactly what I want, so come back here, finish my reply if it's still showing, then go back looking for more pics. And this for prehistoric memes hardly anyone looks at anyways.
Then I go look at coins or whatever,,,

So my slow pace of activity here and distractions keep me from total burnout, I reckon.

Different era (late 80s), but it sounds like it came from an earlier one - trashy Bluesy Garage Punk Rock & Roll,,,

Give it a twirl!

I am also seeing shadows of Asimov's "Foundation" series, albeit a darker overarching plan than what I had attributed to the series decades ago. Although, "1984" is a script within their plan, their "Bible" is the Satanic edition. Wrong is "correct" and lies are the "truth du jour".

Don't forget "Atlas Shrugged". There's a lot of that also.

Indeed!

If you think about society today , it is a mix of 1984 and Brave new world, You have the control factor of 1984 and the drug induced acceptance of people from brave new world. A gramme is better than a damn.

Society today, don't forget "Idiocracy." The dumb crap people say nowadays and no one calls them on it. Lies and misinformation are more and more blatant. Charlie Chaplin as Hitler is where we are with our understanding of history.

Lies and misinformation, including rewriting history was Winston Smith's Job in 1984. That is whats so dangerous about the internet, truth gets drowned out by lies and misinformation. Soon you can't even find the truth anymore. You should invest in some history books before they are outlawed.
