#WritersCoffeeClub 9/14. Have you ever read a work of fiction you felt was advertising something?
Not directly, but I can see how Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, 1984, etc. have become manuals for the fascists - "every hateful asshat should live this way and walk all over the rest" - most of them forgetting that "the rest" actually includes them...
Absolutely... fiction become instructional... 🤦♂️

Didn't do the whole document - didn't need to.
Not too surprised to see those names you listed, including the 'numb-nuts' in politics.
Those who want power - are not those who should have that power.
The hard part is de-indoctrinating the believers in the latest "holy-scriptures" of the Oligarchs and their cronies. This must be achieved before they can ever be stopped.

@Owen_G_Richards Given that those books were written as WARNINGS against the situations they depicted, this is some 100% maxed-out irony.
