yea both george orwell and hannah arendt are kinda not great people and have been historically glorified by bourgeois governments. arendt thought asians were, "oriental despots," and worked for a cia-funded writers workshop and is the reason, "authoritarian," and, "totalitarian," and the concept of horseshoe theory are so popular nowadays
oh shit I didnt notice that lol
