    I didn’t understand a lot of 1984 when I was a teenager. Winston’s job is to censor data from the past to agree with the current administration. How in the hell would that ever be a job?

      For real man it is legit happening. Like we’ve drawn parallels before but now it’s a god damn handbook.
