Living in a surveillance state does not scare me. The government doesn’t give a shit about me as long as I’m not famous or in a position of power. The idea of living a meaningless life with no real human connection scares me. Every time I hum a tune I think about the scene on the train where no one is actually talking to each other. I dedicate my life to fiction analysis. I’m ignoring my family to make this post.

The curse of having read 1984 is that you will see some sort of very common internet/gen z language and you’re just like “oh that’s newspeak” and then you dissociate for several minutes thinking about how the meanings of words are changed in order to perpetuate the class system

the second the music kicks in i know i’m gonna fucking lose it
