Onlookers screamed as fire engulfed the man, who had thrown pamphlets in the air before he set himself aflame. A police officer tried to extinguish the flames before the man was taken away in an ambulance.
Basically MAGAcommunism, for people who unironically think the soviet union was a fascist dictatorship and that’s why they’re into it. It’s what you get when you lazily paint a thin coat of red paint over anti-woke bullshit, and it eviscerates the mental health of anyone who buys into it.
So he understood the Simpsons, a Clockwork orange, and 1984 except thought that the subject matter was being praised rather than being shown as a bad thing? I am going to assume the other referenced media is the same.
I don’t think you need to set yourself on fire to convince people shits fucked and getting worse. But. I don’t think it is because of “that”
I recently had an interesting discussion where someone interpreted the pessimistic ending as a result of successful in-universe propaganda from the Party, and that all the shit they said was just gaslighting and lies to make themselves seem omnipresent and make resistance seem hopeless.
I don’t think this was the intended message but the author is dead, we can make up our own head canons and no one can stop us!
I want to know what the pamphlets say.

Graphic design is my passion. I’d say it’s maybe 50/50 or 60/40 for content. At least half nonsense.
Another victim of stupidpol.
For those who fear to tread, What’s stupidpol?

He was right about 1984, it’s defeatist nonsense.
I took 1984 as more of a cautionary tale rather than defeatest
