Quote by George Orwell

“Считается нежелательным, чтобы пролы испытывали большой интерес к политике. От них требуется лишь примитивный патриотизм - чтобы взывать к нему, когда идет речь об удлинении рабочего дня или о сокращении пайков.”

“The concept of “microaggression” is just one of many tactics used to stifle differences of opinion by declaring some opinions to be “hate speech,” instead of debating those differences in a marketplace of ideas. To accuse people of aggression for not marching in lockstep with political correctness is to set the stage for justifying real aggression against them.”
