    Love the “Orwellian” comparison because it’s such a stretch. Just invoking random names without any need for source material so that anything bad becomes “Orwellian” as westerners can only conceptualize wrong through the writing of that anti-Semitic racist crypto-fascist.

      I’ve never read any of his works so I have no interesting wieghing in on whether the comparison is abt. But if your best criticism of this article is that the label “Orwellian” may not be accurate then you should go back to that dried out field because you’re gonna need more straw…

        I was critiquing the Orwell comparison because that was what was quoted (how is this a strawman lmao?). The article is based on a report I critiqued in another comment.
