That's the point of it

But of what

What's it strawmanning

Tell me

of an authoritarians viewpoint on speech

villains are one dimensionally evil.

author doesnt delve into why the antagonists believe what they believe

just that what they believe is wrong

Mfw i never finished english 2

and begs the question against authoritarian views on speech

<:pepesmug:281041251749462016>

I mean that's a pretty accurate depiction of anything authoritarian reigime

Doesn't want you to question shit

we can argue if that's bad or not

well I think it's a poorly written book

read The Stranger

Farenheit 451 brought my hopes up

or the Giver

I can't

I thought firefighter man was going to smash teen girl

The Giver is a better example of an authoritarian world

but it better dives into the philosophy

but all these fascists

Ayn Rand is equally shit tier

her strawmans are even worse

honestly the worst required reading

She takes the government to it's logical conclusion

at least in Atlas shrugged

"logical conclusion"

It's true

no man

women dont get sent to milking factories

Oh

Did that happen in the book

I didn't read it lole

yea

well not exactly

but sort of

Explain

women are simply used for breeding

nothing else

In Atlas Shrugged?

rearing is up to the government

no

the required reading one

Oh

Which is that

Anthem

Oh

Anthem is so fucking bad

I don't know anything about that

it's honestly shit

I don't doubt it

but I hear atlas shrugged is pretty good

i mean the message is shit

but the world is cool

My man John Stossel said it's a pretty good

What, Atlas Shrugged or Anthem?

like it mostly takes place is this hidden sewer

and then the protag escapes with his gf

to live in the middle of nowhere

in an old broken hous

Anthem

but it's like the world had gone thru ww3

so mostly everything has gone to shit

Oh cool

yea but the political message is so fucking bad

dont take the book seriously if youre gonna read it

and it's a snoozefest

Well reading it it makes sense

"concept of individuality has been eliminated."

"Technological advancement is now carefully planned"

> roleplaying

pathetic

@Gobe It's fun my man

Whats that book called where parents get choose to unborn their children

UNWIND

I'm reading the second book right now

It's great

I never finished it

I like it

The first book

Second book is kinda upfront with it's message

Like there was advertisements and shit for unwinding

And they were corny

But then I realized they were like every other advertisement IRL

Which is sad

@Hercules what do i do with debs

I have many conflicting viewpoints. On one hand I love old America, but I don't want a government at all. I guess I suppose I just

Well

Governments were good in the past, but now they can't handle huge populations

tom

And the information overload

Yeah?

do you wanna learn about the other book?

Other book?

the one thats not 451

you nig

Oh sure

@Gordon Frohman I do
