There is a sort of people who read 1984 and blame the protagonist for being an idiot who called the fire upon himself, or still don't get what's wrong with ice9 and people behind it when turning the last page of Cat's Craddle.

And a sort of people who sympathize Winston and blame Felix Hoenikker, but still fail to see any parallels between "fiction" and life.





I don't know for certain if, when you say "a sort of people", you're referring to me, but... The sort of people you're describing sound like fascists, which is the opposite of me.

We're on the same side then, even if our opinions on the subject differ. Please take no offence.
