        A Memory Hole.

        Ironic that an anticommunist novel can be so perfectly applied to capitalism. Communism, not so much, unless you count Orwell’s fantasy ideology that doesn’t actually exist.

        • Bruh imagine witnessing a revolution that has transformed an industrial backwater into a Union capable of defeating the Nazi onslaught (where your monstrous empire of birth is unable to fight at the moment) in your lifetime and then having your British “sensibilities” kick in and write a book about how bad it is while your country still owns INDIA MOTHERFUCKER.

          It just fuckin’ blows my mind sometimes that Orwell wrote 1984 at a time when the SU was the only ones fighting the Nazis in direct combat. Makes you wonder who he preferred, really.

            Wait, Orwell like the guy who wrote about the horrible dystopian nature of the Soviet Union and how totalitarianism is propped up by state propaganda while he spent his time working for the irl British version of the Ministry of Truth and who snitched on socialists who were “anti-white” and “possible homosexuals” to the British government?

            The same guy who explained that Europe was a powderkeg around the time of the Spanish Civil War and that the Catalonian armed forces had abysmal training and discipline but that Stalin was “inscrutable” for not wanting to continue throwing materiel at a situation that was openly hostile to the USSR version of socialism and for not wanting to escalate the Spanish Civil War into a regional European war or even a world war because the USSR was still rebuilding from a disastrous world war and an equally disastrous “civil” war/proxy war?

            That George Orwell??

            He was employed as a propagandist for the BBC.

            And that’s not “all of BBC is prppaganda” snark either, his job was LITERALLY to make propaganda!

    There could be a million reasons for that, maybe they captured the missile?

    Are you saying that Ukraine attacked the train station? If so I would like some proof please.

      the military is mostly nazi scum, and the same ones used child soldiers and shelled their own people multiple times. Nazis use these tactics for propaganda and a fake moral high ground all the time.

      A missile that is actively used by Ukraine and has been phased out from use by Russia back in 2019 hit the train station. The serial number on the missile traces it back to Ukraine. It’s up to people claiming that Ukraine didn’t fire the missile to show proof of that and not the other way around.
