Hahaha! Indeed, “no pun intended” is a lot like being a shitty wing man 🤣 like yeah, I recognize that guy but I don’t really know him…or at least, I didn’t invite him. Puns deserve better in general, that much is true.
You’re right about the inevitable revelation of undeniable truths, but when that day comes - or rather, as that day unfolds piece by piece - big brother’s ability to rewrite, paired with the masses’ ability to faithfully swallow it down and suppress anyone who threatens to fracture their false narratives for fear of what the truth would imply, may dampen the effects of said revelations.
Then again, I read recently that only efforts with right motives are truly bound to succeed, so perhaps by some great act of consciousness we will collectively stop 1984 from becoming anymore real than it already has. Shit, I can be hopeful, fuck it! Lol
