    After a few years of slaughter and starvation ‘Greatest happiness of the greatest number’ is a good slogan, but at this moment ‘Better an end with horror than a horror without end’ is a winner. Now that we are fighting against the man who coined it, we ought not to underrate its emotional appeal.

    Goddamn.

      Orwell goes hard. It’s unfortunate that he’s known for two books that people pretend they read in high school because their English teacher made them.
