What the fuck level of cult of personality even is this? They’re writing fan fic about their fucking overlords. What the fuck I cannot emphasize enough what the fuck?

      I haven’t read that book in decades but I didn’t get that message from it. The message I thought I got was why suppressing messy feelings for the sake of conformity and “stability” was bad. What did I miss?

        Oh the book is super anti-communist. The whole thing is basically “gommunism is going to tell everyone what to do, destroy the family unit, make fun illegal, and will practice eugenics.”

        9-year old me thought all that sounded pretty good if we just didn’t do the eugenics part. I don’t think that’s what my 4th. grade teacher was hoping I’d get out of it lmao
