Some of you didn’t spend your childhoods reading dystopian science fiction, and it shows.
this person expects to be taken seriously
I actually don’t think she does. She has a persecution complex, and gets off on being contrarian.
“I don’t think The Giver constitutes serious political analysis.”
“You’re literally oppressing me right now, is it because I’m Jewish?”
You mean the dystopian science fiction where a cadre of rich people send the children from their subjugated territories to kill each other for their own amusement?
Or the dystopian science fiction where the state tells us what to think and then punishes us for not thinking that?
Or the dystopian science fiction where people who are slightly different are forced to live in segregated territories where they are subject to wanton acts of cruelty and occasional campaigns of extermination?
I want to make sure I’m properly read on the subject at hand

Key word here is fiction because it’s fucking made up
But also none of the dystopian fiction I read as a child had chanting slogans until you believed them as any sort of a plot point. Like, that just isn’t a thing in any of the dystopian fiction I’ve read, and I’ve read some amount. I do not know what she’s on about here.
nice screenname comrade
Oh thanks!
She just means newspeak from 1984. But because she doesn’t want to say 1984 because she knows she’ll be ridiculed for doing so, she attributes it to “dystopian fiction” as a whole.
Wait till Ms. Fartlow finds out what Orwell thought about Jewish people
Dystopian Sci-fi is also mostly shit YA romance novels
Propaganda is about saying slogans over and over again until people believe them.
Only partially correct. She is forgetting that once enough people believe enough in the slogans, these beliefs will then materialize. It’s infra-materialism 101.
Also that’s not how it actually works unless you take Goebbels’ word salad at face value.
The industrialists and their petit bourgeois wannabes believed in Nazism because of the material benefit they derived from it, not because they were hypnotically brainwashed by Goebbels’ super special mind-controlling slogans.
Nazi propaganda is actually very mediocre. It’s just that the population was very Nazi.
Admitting that she gets her understanding of propaganda from fiction is
Even userbase of the fucking subreddit for propaganda posters understands what propaganda is better than Ms. Fartlow
I am sure the “Support Israel” Rallies will have 0 chanting
Tbf 14 words is kind of a long chant
Counterpoint: Eve Fartlow
“None of you are immune to propoganda” I scream at the high school sports fans chanting D-fence.
Childhood reading dystopian fiction
=
Some brain dead YA shit called like Fredrick Fuckboy and the Maze Authority: Rebel Romance
Part one of The Nyghtmare Chronicles
Nyaightmare Chronicles
former child who was called precocious exactly once: I bet you’ve never read a little book called 1984. otherwise you’d know that politics is bad.
As someone who spent his childhood reading dystopian science fiction, I can confidently state that there are better things to do with your time.
This is literally Jorjor Well 1976!
Jorjor Binks
Dagnabbit Jorjor it wasn’t an instruction manual!
Slogans is literally 1987 Georg Orwin
Has she ever been to a sporting event? Does she think that people think that their rival baseball teams confuse pitchers with belly itchers?
They do if you chant it enough. Don’t you know how propaganda works? Have you even read the Hunger Games?
I wonder why popular american culture spends so much time drilling 1984 as an example of the worst thing ever. Oh, well, not that important
Or that the currency of Oceania is the US dollar
As someone who spent their childhood reading cool science fiction novels, I think robots are people and it’s cool when the story ends with a pun
