Recently, more and more in the context of discussing various situations in our country and abroad, the theme of Orwell and his “1984” pops up, where the Elder Brother watches everyone, the Ministry of Truth is busy rewriting history, and people are kept in actual slavery. The topic has emerged before, but more and more in the context of the discussion of the USSR.
However, if you look at it in detail, it turns out that Huxley was still more right. His “society of ideal consumers”, all on drugs, watching idiotic serials and fucking to the right and left, are much closer to modern Western society than Orwell’s totalitarian anti-utopia, whose inhabitants have never seen anything stronger than the Victory gin.
Under the cut, a small comic awaits you in which Orwell and Huxley's ideas are compared. The translation was made by me, but a couple of phrases ran away from my understanding a bit, so I will be very happy if you help me with them by sending your version through a system of private messages. Similarly - by translation errors.

Anticipating the logical question "why it is on Habré," I can not help but notice that the Internet is very conducive to the creation of information noise, and we are to blame for that. Maybe it is necessary to stop and not to produce another unnecessary startup?
