You were talking about 1984

George left Spain because he became so fed up after seeing the reality of how horrific socialism actually is which is the genesis for animal farm and subsequently 1984.

1984 wasn't inspired by muh fascists.

You just described most fiction for the past few centuries

Superman was literally just a retelling of the story of Moses originally. 1984 was informed what Orwell saw happening in Germany and the USSR during the WW2 era

Also informed by 30's Spain. I think it was mostly informed by the USSR under Stalin though. Animal Farm most certainly was. However in the modern era 1984 has become shorthand for "Orwell can be ascribed to the political party I don't agree with", often by young people who don't know much of anything about that violent era.

Because he was a socialists in his early life.

The fact he wrote animal farm as a response to his experiences in Spain should tell you everything about his thinking afterwards. 1984 was not a rebuke or inspired by fascism. It was a direct response to his experience with socialists and how they operate.

Just because it's about pigs doesn't mean you're meant to be this pig-headed

Animal Farm was published in 1945. 1984 was published in 1949

How big an influence do you think WW2 was on his thinking and writing?

Right, right and ignoring the reasons he joined the fight against the Nationalists, and ignoring any impact/influence that WW2 might have had on him in order to arrive at "1984 is about left-wing authoritarianism" or "is about <insert the opposite" side is a far more nuanced take.

I'm not sure what is worse, the fact that you think that cringe is your internet magnum opus or the self-made tiktoks about this site. I bet if you got banned, you'd be one of those guys that kept making alts until they got discovered, because you have a super-unhealthy obsession with this place. Like many autists.

You can smell autism? Sounds like you may be autistic

"People with autism may experience smell sensitivity more than most, often leading to discomfort or distress."
