Also the alternate society
In Fahrenheit 451, all books are seen as dangerous, and the 'Firemen' of the town are tasked with burning any homes if one is found.
GG @Puerto Rican Nelson, you just advanced to level 19!
451 degrees Fahrenheit being the temperature that standard book paper burned.
Ah
No free speech
Orwell's 1984 is more complex in the issues it explores, but Fahrenheit's singular message I found more compelling.
Is 1984 not kinda old fashioned? Or is it still applicable on current times
It does. Oceania was left a little bit mysterious to keep the setting timeless. You learn a lot, but it's far from enough.
Orwell's other books like Animal Farm are easier to understand
1984 is much more complex
Due to how little the book tells you about the world of 1984
Even animal farm gets bastardized, sadly.
What's one example you've seen?
Whats animal farm about?
everyone and their mother using "Some animals are more equal than others" quote wrongly.
Just became a platitude.
@Stresbal political Charlotte's Web.
Ahh
Pls beg
Ok where is dank memer bot
Guys, Bernie Sanders plan is crazy.

Dumping trillions into war when our people are sick and hungry is crazy
Letting insurance companies and big pharma be in control of our healthcare and wellbeing is crazy
Punishing people with crippling debt for getting educated is crazy
Not paying people a living wage, leading them to work multiple jobs (and STILL struggling to make ends meet) is crazy
Americans being forced to travel to other countries (often third world shitholes) to get medical care is crazy
The war on drugs is crazy
The income inequality is crazy
Oh yeah, about that:

HUNGRY KIDS in America is crazy. We have kids who can't afford school lunches, in places where these are not subsidized. We have CHILDREN who are in DEBT to the school for their school lunches. For some of them, it's the only meal of their day.
Retroactively enacting financial policies is not how it works lol, what a stupid argument
Like, if a cigarette tax is suddenly lifted - everyone who paid it in the past should get reimbursed?
Don't be stupid.
Though I will say Warren's "of course not" is a bit callous
I doubt Bernie would answer the question in the same way
I can sympathize with that man. It's like buying a game on Steam and then it goes on sale a week later
@Dr.Cosby Hungry kids already get food in America. In fact, they eat more expensive food then I do most of the time.
It is stupid that insurance and pharmacies take over healthcare, but do you really think Bernie’s plan will stop that?
Income inequality is not necessarily stupid. As long as companies are not discriminating people because of skin or gender (which would be stupid for companies)
Complete bullshit, yes, and yes it is
